Meghalaya, a hill State, has two polling stations that are accessible only by boat. One of them is the newly-created Kalatek in East Khasi Hills district and the other is Kamsing in West Jaintia Hills district. Both are under the Shillong Lok Sabha constituency. Kalatek has 756 voters while Kamsing, Meghalaya's smallest polling station, has 29. The State's Chief Electoral Officer Frederick R. Kharkongor said boats have been readied for the polling officials and security personnel to reach the two booths before polling on April 11.
