The Election Commission has ordered repolling in 15 booths across South 24 Parganas in West Bengal following allegations of EVM tampering during Phase II polling. BJP leaders claimed that voting buttons were covered with tape in several booths in Falta, sparking a major controversy. Acting under Section 58(2) of the Representation of the People Act, the EC declared polling void in affected areas and scheduled fresh voting. Sources indicate up to 30 more booths may also see repolls. Despite the row, Bengal recorded a historic voter turnout of over 92.9%, the highest since Independence. Watch
