The second phase saw one poll postponement owing to error in ballot paper. In Belagavi district, during polling in Kadampur Gram Panchayat in Ramdurg taluk, it was found that the symbol of a candidate was printed wrongly on the ballot paper. Commotion prevailed for a while and subsequently, polling was put off to Monday. A similar case was reported in Mattihalli Gram Panchayat in Harapanahalli taluk of Ballari district, where voters boycotted polling for the same reason.
