11 polling stations in the Inner Manipur Lok Sabha constituency are witnessing re-polling on April 22. The decision to conduct fresh polling was taken following a directive from the Election Commission, which declared voting held at these stations on April 19 as null and void. This was after the state witnessed incidents of firing, intimidation and destruction of EVMs at some polling stations on April 19. Allegations of booth capturing were also reported from the state which recorded 72 per cent voter turnout in the two Lok Sabha constituencies - Inner Manipur and Outer Manipur - on Friday.
The fresh polls that began at 7 am today are being conducted at Moirangkampu Sajeb and Thongam Leikai in the Khurai constituency, two stations each in Bamon Kampu and Irilbung within the Kshetrigao constituency, along with Khongman Zone V in Thongju of Imphal East district. Furthermore, three stations in the Iroishemba area of Uripok constituency and Khaidem Makha in Konthoujam of Imphal West district are undergoing repolling. A voter turnout of 55.76 per cent has been registered till 1 pm and polling has been peaceful so far.
