MCD Elections 2017: EVM malfunctions reported all over Delhi, tweets CM Kejriwal

New Delhi: Voting for the civic polls 2017 began across booths in Delhi on Sunday. Over 1.32 crore Delhi voters were supposed to cast their votes for 270 wards for North, East and South corporations. While the North and South corporations have 104 wards each, the East ward has 64 wards.  The elections to two municipal wards— Sarai Peepal Kalan (North MCD) and Maujpur (East MCD)— postponed following the deaths of candidates, incidentally both from the Samajwadi Party. Delhi L-G Anil Baijal and Deputy CM Manish Sisodia were among the early voters. In these elections, there was a lot at stake for three main contenders BJP, AAP and Congress. LATEST UPDATES BELOW:
