At least 3.06 lakh voters were eligible to exercise their franchise in Noorpur. The voting percentage was registered at 61 per cent.
The voting was marred by the reported glitches in at least 170 polling booths in Noopur and Kairana, where Lok Sabha bypolls were held on the same day. A multi-party delegation had filed a complaint with the Election Commission claiming faults in the EVMs and disruption in polling. After due consideration, the EC ordered repolling at 73 booths in Kairana but passed no such order for Noorpur Assembly bypolls.
