Though there was a late evening demand for a re-poll in some polling stations in Karwan constituency citing some missing documents, it was later clarified as communication gap.
Though it is a piece of good news to the office of CEO and their officers and staff that the polling was completed peacefully, their work will not be over until and unless they submit the scrutiny reports sent by the Returning Officers to the Election Commission.
