Elections in Srikakulam held peacefully

Elections in Srikakulam were held peacefully and without any violence in almost all areas. Palasa, Sompeta and Rajam saw many enthusiastic voters coming forward to cast their votes.

Srikakulam town reported 65% voting primarily because names of the voters were not found. Voters who have Voter Id Cards but whose names are not there in the list were not allowed to vote. 65% voting was reported in Harischandrapuram. Voting process was delayed in Palkonda under Parvathipuram Lok Sabha Constituency by 2 hours as the electronic voting machine did not function properly.
