The booth to be manned by at least five polling staff will be set up deep inside the Gir forest, which is famous for Asiatic Lion.
The only voter, Guru Bharat Das, is a priest who lives a few kilometres beyond the last inhabited village of Sapnesh Biliyat in Junagarh district of the state.
The polling booth falls under Una assembly constituency which will go to polls in the first phase of elections in Gujarat on December 13.
"We have very unique feature in Gujarat. In Gir forest, there is a village called Sapnesh Biliyat in Junagarh district where there is only one voter.... For his sake, that polling station is kept. It will continue to be a one-voter polling station," Chief Election Commissioner V S Sampath said today.
The CEC said the nearest polling station from the village is 20 kms away and hence to enable its sole voter to cast his vote, the EC will have the one-voter polling station there.
