Sources said over 33,434 lawyers were expected to case their votes. While counting of votes started an hour later, results are expected by 10 pm, except for member of executive body for which counting will be held on Sunday.
In Cuttack, 4297 lawyers voted for various posts of office bears in the Orissa High Court Bar Association at 37 booths. The entire process was video recorded and provision was also made for live streaming of the polling exercise. Members aged above 90 have been allowed to vote from home.
