First phase of Jharkhand elections, Wayanad by-poll end with high turnout

The first phase of the Jharkhand assembly elections and the by-election in Wayanad have concluded. Jharkhand witnessed a voter turnout surpassing 64% for its 43 seats out of 81, while Wayanad recorded a 61% turnout. These figures are anticipated to grow as the Election Commission information presently excludes the final two polling hours. The next Jharkhand election phase is on November 20.
