Exit polls not to be published, telecast before 1730 hrs, Mar 9: EC

NEW DELHI: The Election Commission today prohibited publication or telecast of any exit poll till 1730 hrs on March 9.

The Deputy Election Commissioner said here that permission to delay the exit poll by a day had been taken as polling for two Assembly seats—one in UP (Alapur) and one in Uttarakhand (Karnaprayag), where elections had been countermanded following the death of the candidates, would be held on March 9.

The exit polls would have otherwise come out with the end of the last phase of polling in all states on March 8. (AGENCIES)
