Election Commission Orders Repoll at Three Agra Teachers' Constituency Booths
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has ordered repolling at three polling stations in the Agra Teachers' Constituency of Uttar Pradesh's Legislative Council election after irregularities were reported. The original polling on October 23 was declared void, and repolling is scheduled for October 26. The ECI directed an inquiry to fix responsibility among officials, including police and polling staff, and barred those involved in irregularities from participating in the repoll. The Samajwadi Party alleged voter manipulation and booth capturing, prompting the investigation and disciplinary actions.
