A malfunctioning machine delayed people from casting their votes at a Wadala constituency on Monday evening. The machine saw people queue up at booth No 13 at Amulakh Amichand School on Rafi Ahmad Kidwai Road in 180 Wadala Assembly constituency, "on a day when we could hardly see any queues at other polling booths," said a local, Nikhil Desai.

Desai, who is well-known in the area because of his activism, and taking up local issues with representatives said, "I went to booth no 13, my polling booth late in the afternoon. I saw people scattered about, there was significant police bandobast. People were not being allowed to go inside. I learnt that the EVM was malfunctioning and some talk was on about repairs.
