West Bengal minister and Trinamool Congress candidate Chandrima Bhattacharya cast her vote during the second phase of polling on Wednesday and raised concerns over alleged technical issues in the voting process.

Speaking after casting her vote, Bhattacharya claimed that there were instances of Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) malfunctioning in some booths, which she said led to a slower pace of voting. She alleged that such disruptions could inconvenience voters and affect the smooth conduct of the electoral process.

According to her, while voting was underway across constituencies, delays caused by technical glitches were being reported from certain polling stations. She urged election authorities to ensure that such issues are addressed immediately so that voters do not face unnecessary delays.

The Election Commission has deployed officials and technical teams across polling stations to monitor the functioning of EVMs and address any reported faults on priority. In previous instances, minor technical snags have occasionally been resolved by replacing machines or restarting systems to resume voting.

Polling in the second phase of elections in West Bengal has so far seen a steady voter turnout, with security arrangements tightened across sensitive areas. Authorities have maintained that necessary steps are being taken to ensure smooth and fair voting throughout the day.

As voting continues, further updates on turnout and any confirmed technical disruptions are expected from official sources.
