Repolling is underway, Friday, in nine booths spread over three Parliamentary constituencies in Odisha.

Besides, six booths of Niali Assembly segment under Jagatsinghpur Lok Sabha seat, repolling is underway in two other booths of Keonjhar and one booth in Kendrapara Lok Sabha seat.

Polling in these booths were held on April 17. But following allegations of massive rigging and other irregularities like EVM damages, the Election Commission had ordered repolling in these nine booths.

Congress and BJP nominees had alleged that ruling BJD workers had vandalised the booths damaging the EVMs after an attempt to rig the polls.

Meanwhile, the Cuttack district administrations along with the district rural police have made elaborate arrangements to conduct the repolling in Niali without any further hiccups.

While all booths would be covered by web-cameras, arrangements have been made to video-record all developments outside the booths.
