A high voters’ turnout of 85.7% was recorded in the repolling at a booth at Dudhwa Khurd village in Rajasthan’s Barmer Lok Sabha constituency on Wednesday. The Election Commission had ordered repolling following the complaints made about the breach of secrecy during voting in the village in the second phase on April 26.
Long separate queues of male and female voters were visible at the Government Senior Secondary School’s polling station in Dudhwa Khurd since the morning despite the sweltering heat. The voting was held from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. under strict security measures. Webcasting of the booth was done after the arrangements made for drinking water and shade for the voters.
Of the 1,294 voters registered at the polling station, 1,109 turned up to exercise their franchise. The sources in the Barmer district administration said the polling was carried out smoothly and no untoward incident was reported during the voting.
