Quick Fact Quick Fact

“‘Ballot’ and ‘bullet’ are both
derived from words for ‘balls’.
The Greeks dropped a white ball
when they favoured a candidate,
and a black when they were
against. The term ‘blackballed’
comes from this too!”
“Ever heard of 1033 candidates
for a single seat? Believe it or
not, it did happen for the
Modaurichi assembly
constituency in Tamil Nadu in
1996. The ballot paper was in the
form of a booklet!”
