Barring a few instances of missing names in voter list and one instance of scuffle between party workers in Gadag, the polling for the Assembly elections in the three districts of Dharwad, Gadag, and Haveri concluded peacefully on Wednesday.
As there were still many voters waiting to cast their votes in few polling stations at 6 p.m., the deadline for polling, the polling continued in such centres to allow all those who were at the polling station by 6 p.m. to cast their votes. Consequently it took time for the election staff to conclude the polling and report to the respective mustering centres with the sealed EVMs and VVPATs. The process went on till late in the night. The de-mustering process was carried out at Navalgund, Kundagol, Kalaghatagi, Hubballi, and Dharwad.
Consequently, officials were not able to give the exact percentage of polling in various constituencies immediately.
