Punjab, Oct. 6 -- India voted today in bypolls across five assembly seats and one Lok Sabha constituency, in four states and union territories. Counting is on 9 October.

Where the voting was

The Election Commission says the process will be complete by 11 October.

Nandigram is the one everyone will read

It fell vacant because Suvendu Adhikari gave it up after becoming Chief Minister - he contested both Nandigram and Bhabanipur in the 2026 election, beat Mamata Banerjee in Bhabanipur by 15,105 votes, and kept that seat instead.

Polling was held under heavy security.
