The repoll will be held on July 11 from 7 am to 5 pm. The SEC has also ordered a re-counting of votes in 11 booths.

The opposition parties have accused the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) of being behind the violence.
The TMC has denied the allegations and said that the violence was orchestrated by the opposition parties. The repoll and re-counting of votes will be closely watched to see if they can restore faith in the electoral process in West Bengal. The violence during the panchayat polls in West Bengal is a serious matter. It has raised concerns about the law and order situation in the state and has also cast a shadow over the electoral process.
The repoll and re-counting of votes will be closely watched to see if they can restore faith in the electoral process. If the repoll and re-counting are conducted fairly, it will go a long way in reassuring the people of West Bengal that their votes will be counted and that their voices will be heard. However, if the repoll and re-counting are not conducted fairly, it will only serve to further erode trust in the electoral process. The people of West Bengal deserve to have confidence in the electoral process, and the SEC must ensure that the repoll and re-counting are conducted in a fair and transparent manner.
