Mokokchung, May 30 (EMN): Re-polling was conducted peacefully at 13-Kubza polling station at 26th Aonglenden assembly constituency of Mokokchung district on Wednesday. The polling recorded a 44.68 percent turn-out.
The Election Commission ordered re-polls for the station after miscreants stormed the polling station and destroyed the Electronic Voting Machine there on May 28.
Mokokchung's Deputy Commissioner Sachin Jaiswal informed Wednesday evening that 286 votes were cast. There were 147 male and 139 female voters out of 640 voters, it was informed.
The polling started at 7:00 am and wound up at 3:00 pm under tight security and strict monitoring by the district's administration.
Five companies of the Indian Reserve Police and others comprising the Nagaland Armed Police and Border Security Force were deployed to ensure peaceful polling. Security was mobilized at sensitive locations such as the areas from the CTC junction to the polling station.
However, when comparing to the voting percentage from the previous voting i.e., 77 percent, when the incident happened, Wednesday's voting at the station saw only fewer voters.
