Repolling ordered in Etah, Bagpath

Original Report

The Election Commission on Friday ordered repolling at three places in Uttar Pradesh, including two in Etah from where complaints of
rigging were received.

"Repolling has been ordered at three places in the state. This include Ramaosa and Saraineeh polling stations in Etah district, which is part of Agra parliamentary constituency and Hasanpur Musoorie polling station in Bagpath," chief electoral Officer Anuj Kumar Bishnoi told reporters here.

He said repolling in Etah was ordered as some discrepancies were detected in the number of votes polled and number of votes registered during polling for the fourth phase of Lok Sabha election on Thursday.

Bishnoi said repoll in Hasanpur was ordered following complaints of electronic voting machine malfunction.

"Repolling will be held on Saturday," he added. Meanwhile, he said that preparations for the fifth phase of polling on May 13 will be held in Bareilly on May 11.
