Punjab and Goa yesterday witnessed huge polling. Goa registered a record voter turnout of 83 percent in yesterday’s polling for the 40-member Legislative Assembly. The state had recorded 81.8 percent polling in last assembly elections. Polling passed off peacefully in the state. The final figures may change as reports are yet to come from some polling booths.
In Punjab 78.62 per cent polling was recorded, as people cast their votes to elect the 117 member Assembly yesterday. Polling percentage was revised as polling continued at many booths hours after the designated time of 5 pm, as thousands of voters were still in queue. In last election poll percentage was around the same. By and large polling remained peaceful barring a minor clash in Tarn Taran district in which one person was injured.
