Mumbai: Amidst ongoing elections to Maharashtra Assembly on Wednesday, the polling process was hampered at many places in the state due to malfunction in EVMs (electronic voting machines).

In an incident, the EVM machine in Booth No 169 at B R High School in Akola West assembly constituency stopped working due to a technical problem.

The EVM at Booth No 292 in Malegaon Outer assembly constituency stopped functioning all of a sudden, rendering it as invalid. Many citizens have been queuing up at this polling station due to a fault in EVM.

In another incident at the New English School polling station in Jamner of Jalgaon district, many people were confused as EVM there failed to start. As a result, voting was delayed by 15 to 20 minutes.

The EVM at 226 polling centre at Dadegaon Budruk in Paithan taluka of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar has stopped working since last one hour. The administration is working to replace the concerned machine.

In yet another case, the EVM at Vikram High School polling station in Kolhapur North constituency has stopped, forcing citizens to wait in a long queue outside the polling station.

The polling was interrupted for some time due to a problem in the voting machine at Manasgaon in Buldhana-Jalgaon Jamod constituency.
