Question

Under what circumstance, does a re-poll take place in India?

Answer 1

In India, a re-poll takes place when there is an issue with the initial polling process or if the initial polling process has been unsuccessful.

There are many reasons for an unsuccessful initial poll. A few reasons are -

1. When the poll results do not give a majority party as a winner to form the government.
 
2. When the parties with majority number of votes refuse to form a coalition or work together.

3. When there are internal conflicts within the winning political party.

4. When there is suspected malpractice in the voting system.

A re-poll is declared by the Election Commission of India after taking the situation and reasons into consideration.

Chief Minister leaves, eg: notorious resignation of Delhi CM.

Quarrel among the party post-election.
