How did Shyam Saran Negi become India's 1st voter?

India's first voter Shyam Saran Negi had to take permission from a presiding officer for casting vote in his district, which was different from where he was deputed for election work in 1951. Negi reached the election booth at 6.30 am on the polling day, becoming the first voter, and left for his duty immediately after exercising his franchise.
