J&K polls: Over 70 per cent voting recorded

Jammu/Srinagar:  Polling ended peacefully on Tuesday in 15 assembly constituencies in Jammu and Kashmir that voted in the first phase of the five-phase assembly elections, officials said.

"No major incident of violence has been reported from anywhere," a poll official said in Jammu.
Over 70 per cent turnout recorded and EC officilad say the  figure may even go up.
 Election commission officials, however, said the percentage was likely to change as the final figures were yet to be received.
Although polling ended at 4 p.m., voters who entered the polling station by that time are entitled to vote.
