While polling will end at 5 pm in 311 booths, it will be concluded at 4 pm in 47 sensitive booths, including those in Left Wing Extremist-affected places.
Of the 14 contestants, the key candidates are the BJD’s Snehangini Chhuria, BJP’s Jay Dholakia, Congress’s Ghasiram Majhi, and Ramakanta Hati of the Samajwadi Party.
