As per the voting percentage, Cooch Behar, Alipurduar and Jalpaiguri recorded 15.26%, 15.91% and 14.13% respectively till 9 am.

Governor CV Ananda Bose, who is in the 'Peace Room' at Raj Bhavan, said all complaints regarding violence have been forwarded to the Election Commission of India (ECI).

In the 2019 elections, the BJP won all the three seats- which went to polls- giving a jolt to the TMC, which got its tally down from 34 to 22.

The Lok Sabha elections will be held in West Bengal in seven phases from April 19 to June 1.

On Friday, 102 seats across 21 states and union territories went to polls.
