The Election Commission on Saturday ordered repoll in all 285 polling booths of the Falta assembly constituency in West Bengal's South 24 Parganas district on May 21, an official said.
The repoll was ordered due to “severe electoral offences and subversion of the democratic process” on April 29, when voting in Falta was held in the second phase of the assembly elections, he said.
