Magrahat Paschim constituency accounted for 11 of the affected booths, while Diamond Harbour constituency reported issues at four booths. These booths will conduct fresh polling to ensure the integrity of the electoral process and maintain voter confidence.
The original polling day took place on Saturday, May 2, with voting stations remaining open from 7 AM to 6 PM. The Election Commission’s intervention reflects its commitment to conducting fair and transparent elections across the state.
