Repolling will be held at a booth at Dudhwa Khurd village in Rajasthan’s Barmer Lok Sabha constituency on Wednesday following the complaints made about the breach of secrecy during the polling on April 26. The Election Commission has ordered repolling at the Government Senior Secondary School in Dudhwa Khurd.
Chief Electoral Officer Praveen Gupta said in Jaipur on Tuesday that the repolling would be held from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. for 1,294 voters registered at the polling station. The webcasting of the polling process will also be done. Dudhwa Khurd falls in Barmer district’s Chohtan Assembly constituency, where Bharatiya Janata Party’s Aduram Meghwal won in the 2023 election.
The Barmer District Election Officer has suspended four members of the polling team which had conducted the voting at the booth. The complaints regarding the breach of confidentiality of votes were made after some videos showing bogus voting and the voters being denied their right to franchise went viral on the social media.
