EVM technical glitch delays voting in Udupi-Chikkamagaluru constituency
Udupi: Voting for the second phase of the Lok Sabha elections in the Udupi-Chikkamagaluru constituency faced a delayed start this morning due to a technical issue with an Electronic Voting Machine (EVM).
The polling process, slated to commence at 7:00 AM, was pushed back to approximately 7:30 AM at the Government Undergraduate College for Girls in Udupi city.
This delay was attributed to a malfunction in the voting machine at the aforementioned polling station. Despite this, voters have shown up in significant numbers across the district.
Among the 10 candidates fighting out in this constituency are Kota Srinivasa Pujari from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Jayaprakash Hegde from the Indian National Congress (INC).
