Polling control people heard the sound and immediately stopped him and he hurriedly removed the photo. The man said “I promised my colleague to bring vidence of my voting and that is the only reason.” Officials say “his behavior is problematic but his voting paper was not revealed to any other person, so his polling is valid.”
