Odisha’s Rajya Sabha vote pause sparks dispute over ballot correction rules.
Voting in Odisha’s Rajya Sabha election was briefly paused on March 16, 2026, after a BJP MLA, Upasana Mohapatra, received a second ballot paper to correct an error on her first vote.
The Biju Janata Dal, led by Naveen Patnaik, objected, alleging the action violated election rules and undermined democratic integrity.
The BJP defended the move, stating it followed Election Commission guidelines allowing a replacement if the ballot isn’t shown to an agent.
The incident occurred during a broader vote count for 11 Rajya Sabha seats across India, with counting set to begin at 5 PM.
