Bypolls Live Highlights | Assembly bypolls in four states sees 50-70% turnout; ID checks, murder mar UP voting

A voter turnout ranging from 50 to 70 per cent was recorded in the bypolls to 15 assembly seats spread across Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Kerala and Uttarakhand on Wednesday amid stray incidents of violence and complaints of irregularities against police officials and misuse of government machinery. While the polling percentage in Kerala was 70.51, it was 63 in Punjab, 57.64 in Uttarakhand and 49.3 in Uttar Pradesh. The final figures are likely to change. Acting on complaints by SP president Akhilesh Yadav against police officers checking voter cards and Aadhaar IDs, the Election Commission ordered suspension of five police personnel in Uttar Pradesh violating its guidelines on checking of voters and stopping them from casting votes. That's all for today, we will be back tomorrow with more political updates as we await results on November 23. Thank you and goodnight!
