However, voters who entered the polling station by 5 o'clock were allowed to cast their vote. Voting has been stopped in Dolakha, Bajura, Siraha, Nawalparasi East and other places due to disputes. The Election Commission said that efforts are being made to start voting in those places. The voting time has been fixed till 7 pm at Patu Bangaon polling station in Tulsipur, Dang, which was stopped for a while when the ballot papers were different.
The work of collecting the ballot boxes from the polling place is continuing. Chief Election Commissioner Dinesh Kumar Thapalia informed that the counting of votes will start from this evening.
