Monday morning marked the beginning of the repolling process at polling booths where violence and malpractices had previously taken place. The West Bengal State Election Commission (SEC) announced that repolling will take place in 696 booths that had been declared void after an official review of reports of electoral manipulation and incidents of violence.
Visuals of people queuing up for the repolling process have started to surface on the internet. The SEC, after convening a meeting on Sunday evening, reviewed the reports from the districts and issued an order based on their findings. An official stated that four CAPF personnel would be present in every booth for Monday's polling.
Murshidabad topped the list of districts with the most booths that required repolling, with a total of 175 booths. This was closely followed by Malda with 112 booths. Nadia had 89 booths, while North and South 24 Parganas districts had 46 and 36 booths respectively.
