The poll began at 7 a.m. on Tuesday morning in 23 polling stations and it ended at 4 p.m. without any incident, election officials said.
In all 15,256 voters, including 7,468 women, were eligible to exercise their franchise to decide the electoral fate of two candidates -- Wangpang Konyak of ruling Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) and Congress candidate Wanglem Konyak.
