Fifty nine constituencies spread across 16 districts in Uttar Pradesh are voting in the third phase of polling today. Congress-ruled Punjab is also voting. By 1 pm, UP recorded a voter turnout of 35.9 per cent and Punjab 34.10 per cent. Soon after polling began in Uttar Pradesh, the Samajwadi Party alleged discrepancies in an Electronic Voting Machine in Kanpur Rural. The party alleged that even after a voter pressed the button next to Samajwadi Party, the Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) issued a slip of the BJP. They asked the Election Commission to take note.
