KATHMANDU, NOVEMBER 20
As many of 32% of total listed voters have cast their votes at the ongoing Federal and Provincial Assembly election.
Organising a presser this afternoon, the National Election Commission had apprised the media of the latest voter turnout ratio.
Officials of the commission stated that the turnout was dismal in the morning, probably because of drop in temperature.
However, EC's spokesperson
Shaligram Sharma informed that the number of people lined up for the polls started increasing around noon.
"We believe the numbers will go up during the day," he said.
The commission had earlier stated that a 70% turnout is expected for the elections.
