PALA: Polling concluded in the by-election here as 71.2 percent voters turned up to cast their voting right. All three fronts are hopeful that this high polling could favour them.

The polling was at 68.4 percent till 5.20 pm. In the 2016 election, the voter turn-up was 77 percentage. However, it is assumed that the polling cannot cross this figure when the final polling percentage comes out later.
