On Friday, the Election Commission (EC) ordered the repolling for the Second Phase of the Gujarat election polls. The EC ordered repolling for 6 of the booths.

The Chief Electoral Officer of Gujarat B. B. Swain stated the Poll Panel cancelled the results stored in the EVMs of 6 booths. Swain said, “The reasons for cancelling these booth results is that the Presiding Officers had forgotten to wipe and delete the existing mock poll drill in their EVMs. We have initiated necessary actions against these lax officials.”
