Re-polling in 16 Chhattisgarh booths todayRe-polling in 16 booths across five districts in Chhattisgarh will be held on today.

The districts are Sarguja, Jashpur, Korba, Raipur and Rajnandgaon.

Some of these booths had recorded more polling than the number of listed voters, while balloting could not take place at the others due to different reasons, officials in the State Election Office said.

Chhattisgarh had a two-phase polling on November 14 and 20 for its assembly. On the other hand re-polling was held in 33 booths in Bastar division yesterday, where people couldn't cast their votes on November 14 due to Naxal violence and looting of electronic voting machines (EVMs).

Counting of votes will be held on December 8.
