Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The Uttaramerur elections were a lottery system where the names of persons eligible to be committee members were written on small palm-leaf tickets. The leaves were placed in a stoneware container. Then the young boy was asked to take out the tickets, one at a time for each committee. But in today's panchayat, members are elected through general elections. First, all members' names are printed with the symbol assigned to them on a ballot paper piece. Finally, the votes are tallied, and the name of the winners announced by the returning officer.
Hence the correct statement would be that the electoral system in Uttaramerur was quite different from the current panchayat elections.
