India's first voter still around, voting

Cool human interest story out of India's election...

http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-shyam-saran-negi-the-man-who-has-never-missed-a-single-election-since-1951-1976612

Negi was the first person in India to cast a ballot in 1951 for the first general election, and has voted in every general election since. He does voter registration PSA's, and has voted in the current Lok Sabha (roughly their House of Representatives) elections.
