Guwahati: The EC has ordered fresh polls in six polling booths of Outer Manipur Lok Sabha constituency on Tuesday (April 30).
Officials said EVMs and VVPATs were damaged in four of the six polling stations before voting could be completed during the second phase of polls on April 26 . In the other two booths, voting was disrupted due to "threat, intimidation, and mob violence".
The office of Manipur CEO on Saturday stated the ECI has directed that the poll taken in the six polling stations on April 26 be declared void.
Four of the polling stations fall under Ukhrul (ST) assembly constituency and one each in Chingai (ST) and Karong (ST) assembly segments.
