West Bengal State Election Commission on Sunday ordered repolling, in booths where voting has been declared void. The SEC announced that repolling will be held on Monday (July 10) in all booths where voting for the rural elections has been declared void.

The SEC passed the order after going through reports of vote-tampering and violence which affected polling in many places.

The re-polling is scheduled to take place in 697 booths where voting has been declared void. Murshidabad has the highest number of booths at 174, followed by Malda with 110, where repolling was announced.

At least 4 central police force personnel will be posted at each of these booths where re-polling has been ordered, an official told PTI.

Meanwhile, West Bengal Governor C V Ananda Bose on Sunday flew to New Delhi, where he is likely to meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah and submit a report on the violence that took place during the panchayat elections
