Kolkata: Repoll will be held in two booths in West Bengal on April 11 due to electronic voting machine malfunction during the first phase of the assembly elections, an Election Commission official said today.
"Due to EVM malfunction, repoll has been scheduled in two booths, one in West Midnapore (Vivekanda Sikhshya Niketan Room No. 2) and one at Bankura (Ranibandh Girls Higher Secondary School) on April 11 from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.," additional chief electoral officer Dibyendu Sarkar told the media.
On April 11, the second part of the first phase of polls will see voters casting their votes for candidates in 31 assembly constituencies.
Initial, the Election Commission had declared a provisional turnout percentage of 80.92 on the polling day.
"The initial figure is an indicative figure. Returning officers submitted the data as per instructions and on time. It took time to collate the data as connectivity is a problem in those areas," he said.
