“Fractional correction is expected in the percentage figure, as at some of the polling stations voting continued even after 6 pm and many polling parties are yet to reach the reception centre. This remarkable participation marks a new era of peace and civic engagement in these districts,” read a communiqué issued last evening by the office of J&K Chief Electoral Officer, Pandurang K Pole.
