BENGALURU: The Election Commission (EC) late on Tuesday cleared the outcome for Hubballi-Dharwad (central) Assembly section, which was held up over the issue of mock slips no longer being cleared from the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM)'s keep watch over unit.
"As few mock slips weren't cleared from the control unit of the EVM after a mock poll, we (state poll panel) had sought the permission of the Commission to count the Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) slips instead," state's Joint Chief Electoral Officer A.V. Surya Sen advised IANS right here.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) nominee Jagadish Shettar was declared winner from the seat.

Of the consequences declared for the entire 222 meeting segments, BJP received 104, Congress 78 and JD-S 37, while others were given three seats.
