Campaigning ended today in the Kinnaur Assembly segment of Mandi Lok Sabha constituency.
Though the bye-elections to the parliamentary seat was held on Sunday, voting in Kinnaur will take place on June 27. The counting of votes will take place on June 30.
Polling was deferred in the Assembly seat, which has over 52,000 voters, in view of rains.
Meanwhile, EVMs and election materials have not reached some of the booths and the same would be airlifted tomorrow, election department sources said.
Over 52 per cent polling was reported in sixteen assembly segments on June 23, the lowest ever in the history of Mandi constituency, which was vacated by Virbhadra Singh in January this year after he took over as Chief Minister.
Meanwhile, June 27(polling day) has been declared as gazetted holiday in Kinnaur in a bid to enable the employees working in all government offices, educational institutions and industrial establishments of Himachal Pradesh to exercise their right to franchise.
