Voters at a handful of polling places in a northeastern Indian state went back to the polls amid tight security on Monday after violence disrupted the vote last week.
Indian election authorities voided the results at 11 of Manipur state's nearly 3,000 polling stations after armed men damaged election machines during the first day of their national election.
State officials said that at least six of the stations, armed men broke the electronic voting machines that citizens use to cast their ballots.
The authorities suspected two dominant ethnic groups that attacked the same way since May 2023. Around 200 people have been killed and over 60,000 displaced as mobs have rampaged through villages and torched houses.
The world’s largest democratic election began in India on Friday, as millions across 21 states cast their votes. Their election would last for about weeks and Narendra Modi, the populist prime minister seeks a straight third term as their country'sleader. The votes will be counted manually.
