However, the voting day was marred with widespread violence, looting of ballots papers and rigging.There were reports of booth capturing, damaging of ballot boxes and assault of presiding officers from several districts such as Murshidabad, Cooch Behar, Malda, South 24 Parganas, North Dinajpur and Nadia.

There are 63,239 seats at the Gram Panchayat level, 9730 at Panchayat Samiti and 928 at the Zila Parishad level. The Trinamool Congress (TMC) is likely to win the Panchayat polls this time by a landslide.
