The Election Commission of India has ordered a complete re-poll in all 285 polling booths of the Falta constituency on May 21, 2026. This decision follows serious allegations of violence and EVM tampering during the original polling on April 29, 2026.

Observers have raised concerns about electoral integrity. The Commission cited multiple complaints of electoral malpractices as the basis for this unprecedented move. The overall voter turnout in South 24 Parganas district was around 93.48% during Phase 2 of the elections.

Key facts:

• The re-polling will take place from 7 AM to 6 PM.
• The counting of votes is scheduled for May 24, 2026.
• Voters must carry valid identity proof to cast their vote, including Voter ID, Aadhaar card, passport, driving license, or PAN card.

The Election Commission has deployed additional observers to ensure a secure and transparent counting process. These observers aim to create an intimidation-free environment during the vote counting phase.

Officials have not disclosed any further details regarding specific incidents that led to this decision. However, the Commission’s actions indicate a strong response to protect the democratic process.
