Punjab Block Samiti Poll Ends in Tie
In Punjab, there was a special election called a block samiti poll.
In one place called Fazilka, two people got the same number of votes, so they had to do a tiebreaker.
The tiebreaker was like drawing straws, and a man named Judge Singh from a political party called Shiromani Akali Dal won.
This is a unique way to decide an election!
A block samiti poll in Punjab's Fazilka district ended in a tie.
The tie was for the Dalmeerkhera seat.
A recount was conducted, but the tie persisted.
A draw of lots was used to determine the winner.
