Jamshedpur: Voters in Jamshedpur East and Jamshedpur West constituencies will get two extra hours to exercise their franchise in comparison with voters in the remaining 18 seats that are going to polls in the second phase of elections on Saturday.
To provide maximum time for voting to electors in areas that are not prone to Left Wing Extremism (LWE) violence.
�We try and extend the voting time in areas that do not have LWE presence. Since Jamshedpur East and Jamshedpur West constituencies are spread across urban areas, all the voters who reach the polling station by 5pm in the two constituencies will get to cast their votes,� an official said.
Most of the constituencies going to polls on Saturday fall within the limits of districts that are LWE-affected as per records with the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). The voting will begin in the 20 constituencies at 7am and end in all the constituencies other than Jamshedpur East and Jamshedpur West at 3pm.
