While 3 polling stations in the Tuivawl constituency in Aizawl district and 2 in Tuichawng constituency were identified as vulnerable.
The Boraguisury polling station in Tuichawng constituency was identified as critical owing to abnormally high percentage of votes cast for one candidate Kali Kumar Tongchangya, the former chief executive member of the Chakma Autonomous District Council in the 2018 Assembly elections.
Personnel from the Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) would be deployed at the all vulnerable polling stations, said the officials.
