The Election Commission today extended the ban on conduct of exit polls in Uttarakhand up to 5.30 PM on March 9 in view of voting yet to be held for the lone seat of Karnaprayag.
The period of prohibition for exit polls as per the earlier notification of the EC in the state was to end on March 8.
69 out of a total of 70 seats in Uttarakhand went to polls on February 15.
Polling to Karnaprayag seat could not be held on that date following the death of BSP candidate Kuldip Singh Kanwasi in a road accident just a couple of days before.
The polling to Karnaprayag seat will now be held on March 9.
