Arunachal Pradesh held repolling in eight polling stations on April 24, following instances of violence during the initial phase of voting for the Lok Sabha election 2024 and State Assembly elections on April 19. The Election Commission of India (ECI) issued an order on Sunday, announcing repolling for four assembly seats across eight stations from 6 am to 2 pm.
Reports of violence and damage to Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) during the Assembly elections in Arunachal Pradesh prompted the decision for repolling.
The polling stations slated for repolling include:
Sario in the Bameng assembly constituency within East Kameng district
Longte Loth under the Nyapin assembly seat in Kurung Kumey
Dingser, Bogiya Siyum, Jimbari, and Lengi polling booths under the Nacho constituency in Upper Subansiri district
Bogne and Molom polling booths under the Rumgong assembly constituency in Siang district.
During the initial phase of voting on April 19, approximately 76.44 per cent of the total 8,92,694 voters cast their ballots to elect 50 MLAs out of the 60-member assembly in the northeastern state.
Notably, the ruling BJP secured victory in 10 assembly seats without facing any opposition.
