In one of the constituencies, the election has been countermanded due to the death of a candidate, while in another a BJP candidate has got elected unopposed.

"Early voters came out in large numbers and they queued up before polling stations right from 8 am to exercise their franchise," a senior police official said.

BJP, Congress, and AAP have officially fielded their panels for the elections being fought on party symbols.
