Assembly Elections 2026: 55.57% Voter Turnout Recorded by 1 PM; TMC Submits Complaint to ECI Regarding Alleged Unauthorized Sorting of Postal Ballots

Repolls have been mandated at 11 polling stations in the Magrahat Paschim Assembly constituency and four polling stations in the Diamond Harbour constituency. This decision follows reports of irregularities during the initial voting process.

The Election Commission of India (ECI) has not disclosed the specific reasons for the repolls; however, they typically arise from instances such as technical malfunctions, allegations of voter intimidation, or violations of electoral guidelines.

The revised polling dates have yet to be announced, but officials have emphasized that they will ensure transparency and compliance with regulations during the repolling process. This action highlights the ECIs ongoing efforts to maintain the integrity of the electoral process in the region, where the assembly elections play a crucial role in shaping local governance and representation.
