The State Election Commission (SEC) Secretary Anurag Sen reported that voting began at 7 am and was largely peaceful across the state, with most polling stations closing on schedule.

While no major incidents of violence were officially recorded, a few minor disturbances and complaints were reported from different areas.

Anurag Sen stated that most polling stations had completed voting by the scheduled time, and final turnout figures may rise slightly after full data compilation.

He also confirmed that there were no reports of Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) malfunctions during the actual polling hours. However, minor issues detected during morning mock drills were immediately addressed by replacing the machines.

The SEC has announced a re-poll at polling station 17/39 under the Pekurjala-Janmejoynagar constituency in Sepahijala district following allegations of tampering with a ballot unit. The re-poll is scheduled to be held on April 16.

Meanwhile, there were reports of several injuries during the voting process earlier today, as members of rival political parties clashed, lobbed bombs and attacked vehicles in different locations.

Reports said that miscreants allegedly hurled crude bombs near a polling station in the Veluarchar area of Boxanagar in Sepahijala district. Additional security forces were rushed to the spot to contain the situation.

On the other hand, in several polling stations across Bodhjungnagar-Wakinagar, Takarjala-Jampuijala, Ramchandraghat, and Shilachari-Manu-Bankul constituencies, voting was temporarily suspended due to EVM glitches.
