Fresh voting began at 11 polling stations in the Inner Manipur Lok Sabha constituency on April 22, days after violence was reported from the conflict-hit region.

People turned up at polling booths in the morning amidst heavy security arrangements. On April 19, incidents of firing, intimidation, destruction of EVMs at some polling booths, and allegations of booth capturing were reported. 

Later, the Election Commission declared the polls held at these stations as null and void and scheduled fresh polling.

Earlier in the day, the Congress had demanded repoll in 47 polling stations alleging that booths were captured and elections were rigged.

Manipur Congress president K Meghachandra said the party had lodged a complaint with the Chief Electoral Officer demanding repoll in 36 polling stations in Inner Manipur constituency and 11 in Outer Manipur constituency.
