The process of voting in the Elections will continue from 8 am to 6 pm, if in any district there are voters who have not cast their ballot then the process will continue in that district only. If all voters registered in the schedule have completed the process ahead of time then the chairman can declare the end of voting after the final voter casts his ballot.
