Falta Re-poll Sees Around 86% Voting

PTI, May 21, 2026, Kolkata: The re-polling in West Bengal's Falta Assembly constituency on Thursday saw around 86 per cent of the 2.36 lakh electors exercising their franchise, with no untoward incident reported from anywhere, a poll panel official said.

The total electorate in the constituency comprises 1,21,300 men, 1,15,135 women and nine third-gender individuals. The Election Commission doubled the security arrangements for the re-poll after the April 29 polling in the seat was countermanded over allegations of large-scale EVM tampering.

Around 35 companies of the central forces manned the 285 polling booths to ensure smooth voting. Additionally, 30 Quick Response Teams are on standby to respond swiftly to any disturbance.

"Polling has remained peaceful in Falta. We have not received a single report of any problem from anywhere in the constituency. Till 3 pm, 74.10 per cent of polling has been registered," the poll panel official told PTI.

A large number of voters were seen queuing outside the 285 polling stations in the Assembly constituency since early morning.
