Mizoram: Over 87% turnout in re-polling at one voting centre

Aizawl, Nov 10 (SocialNews.XYZ) Around 87.08 per cent of the 1,084 voters on Friday cast their votes in the re-polling held in Muallungthu polling station in Aizawl South-III assembly constituency, officials said.

The re-polling began at 7 a.m. on Friday morning and ended at 4 p.m. 

 

No untoward incident was reported. 

Re-polling was necessitated in the Muallungthu polling station as the polling officials on Tuesday conducted the actual voting in the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) without holding the mandatory mock-poll in the polling station. 

After getting a report from the Returning officer of the Aizawl South-III constituency, the Election Commission on Wednesday ordered re-polling in the voting centre. 

Four candidates are in the fray in Aizawl South-III constituency. 

Mizoram went to polls on November 7 to elect 40 members of the Mizoram Assembly with around 80.62 per cent of 8.57 lakh voters exercising their franchise. 

In all, 174 candidates, including 16 women, contested the elections.
