 "Nagaland witness 71% votes cast")
About 71% votes were cast for the lone Nagaland parliamentary seat today.
Election Commission sources said voting figures of the far flung districts were yet to be known.
The sources said Pughoboto district recorded the highest turnout of 93.5%, while Peren had the least at 42.3%.
Longleng district returning officer Libanthung Lotha said polling had been adjourned as Assam police did not allow entry of polling officials to the designated polling station at Ladaigarh government primary school and the people of the area agitated against the setting up of a standby polling station.
The poll, which ended at 4 pm, will decide the fate of Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio who is the candidate of his party Naga People's Front.
