Karimnagar graduates constituency throws up surprise with large number of invalid votes

The Hindu  

The election authorities have apparently landed in a piquant situation in the counting for the Medak-Nizamabad-Adilabad-Karimnagar Graduates constituency of the Legislative Council for which election was held on February 27. Except for the posts nominated by the Governor, elections of members of the Legislative Council under the MLAs quota, Graduates’ and Teachers’ constituencies involve preferential voting with the eligible voters asked to elect candidates of their choice in the sequence of first, second and third preference while casting their votes. However, large number of votes in the Medak-Nizamabad-Adilabad-Karimnagar graduates constituency saw huge number of invalid votes leading to protests by the contesting candidates. P. Sripal Reddy secured 7,673 votes followed by A. Narsi Reddy who got 5,660 votes forcing the election authorities to opt for counting the second and later preference votes late on Monday evening.
