Ratabari (Assam) [India], Oct 21 (ANI): People were seen queued at several polling stations across four assembly constituencies in Assam on Monday to exercise their franchise.
Voting is underway in Assam for the by-polls.
A total of 6,77,367 voters are eligible to exercise their franchise at 830 polling stations to decide the fate of 20 candidates contesting in the bye-elections for Ratabari, Sonari, Rangapara and Jania assembly constituencies.
Security has been beefed up at each polling station.

The votes will be counted on October 24.
