Repolling in 4 booths in M.P.'s Betul Lok Sabha seat sees 72.97% turnout

A voter turnout of 72.97% was recorded at four booths in Madhya Pradesh's Betul Lok Sabha seat where repolling took place on Friday after electronic voting machines (EVMs) used in the May 7 voting were damaged in a fire, an official said.

The voting started at 7 a.m. and ended at 6 p.m., the official added.

The Election Commission (EC) on Wednesday ordered repolling at the four booths after a few EVMs were damaged when a bus ferrying the gadgets and polling personnel post-voting caught fire on Tuesday night near Sonora Gaula village in Betul district.
