West Bengal: EC orders repoll in all 285 booths of Bengal's Falta Assembly constituency

The Election Commission on Saturday ordered a repoll in all 285 booths of the Falta Assembly constituency in West Bengal’s South 24 Parganas district on May 21, citing “severe electoral offences and subversion of the democratic process” during the April 29 polling. Repolling, including at auxiliary booths, will be held from 7 am to 6 pm, officials said. Counting for the constituency is scheduled for May 24. The two-phase Assembly elections were conducted on April 23 and 29, with overall counting set for May 4.
