Hyderabad: The State Election Commission (SEC) will conduct fresh poll in all the polling stations of Ward 26-Old Malakpet on December 3 from 7 am to 6 pm.

The decision comes in the wake of polling officials noticing that the ballot paper for the ward was wrongly printed with the symbol of the CPI candidate printed as ‘Hammer, Sickle and Star’ instead of ‘Ears of Corn and Sickle’, the SEC said.
