Mizoram votes

Balloting began Friday for the lone Lok Sabha constituency and a by-poll for an assembly seat in Mizoram, officials said.

With a population of 1,091,014, Mizoram's 702,189 electorate, including 355,954 women, would decide the fate of three candidates in the lone Lok Sabha constituency.

Polling was scheduled for April 7 but was postponed due to a three-day shutdown and boycott call by NGOs and students' groups.
