New Delhi: Delhi's oldest voter, 111-year old Bachan Singh, cast his vote at a polling booth in West Delhi's Tilak Nagar on Sunday. The centenarian was quoted just a day earlier by Indian news agency ANI saying that 'not a single vote should go waste.'

Singh arrived at the Sant Garh polling booth in a wheelchair and was greeted by his relatives and well-wishers, some of whom even offered him bouquets.

Delhi Election Commission officials said that Singh was the oldest voter in Delhi.
