New Delhi, Apr 25 (PTI) No repoll has been recommended in any of the polling stations in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu where assembly elections were held on Thursday, the EC officials said on Saturday.
While
all 234 assembly seats in Tamil Nadu went to vote in a single phase, 152 seats in West Bengal voted in the first phase.
The remaining 142 seats will go to the polls on April 29.
Poll panel officials had earlier cited rules to point out that if webcasting in any of the polling stations is “deliberately” disrupted, a repoll will be ordered.
In the 2021 assembly polls in Tamil Nadu, a repoll at a polling station in Chennai was ordered as a defective paper trail machine was carried out on a two-wheeler, as the ‘zonal party’ of the area erroneously mistook it as an unused defective machine.
This was violative of EC orders. PTI NAB AMJ AMJ
