Voters Return Without Voting Following Delay In EVM Repair

Bhubaneswar: Irate voters went home without voting in some booths of south Odisha districts on Thursday because of inordinate delay in the repair of electronic voting machines (EVMs).

But there was a problem with the EVM that could not be repaired even after two hours. Angry at the delay, the people returned home without voting.
