Voters line up from early hours of the day to avoid the heat
Elections to the six Urban Local Bodies, including Guntur Municipal Corporation, ended on Wednesday on a peaceful note barring a couple of stray incidents.
At the end of polling at 5 p.m., 61.67% of polling was recorded across the district. Vinukonda recorded the highest polling percentage of 77.30%, while Guntur recorded 57.15%, similar to the polling percentage recorded in 2005.
Voters lined up early on Wednesday in order to avoid the heat and crowds. The process of polling through ballot paper was time-consuming, but voters were seen waiting patiently at the polling booths.
