The claim
In the ongoing 2024 Lok Sabha Elections, 171 votes were cast at a polling booth in Assam’s Dima Hasao district, where there were only 90 voters.
Original review summary
The review found that the voting irregularity occurred during Assam’s 2021 Assembly elections, not the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. Assam’s Chief Electoral Officer clarified that the incident was from 2021; the review also reports that a repoll was held at the polling station.[S1]
Additional context
The booth was 107(A) Khotlir LP School in the Haflong constituency. The review says five poll officials were suspended and that a repoll there took place on 20 April 2021. [S1]
