When Will Voting Time End in Maharashtra?

Voting in both Maharashtra and Haryana is scheduled to end at 6 pm. However, at some of the polling booths, the voting time would be increased to allow all those in queue to cast their mandate. The Election Commission of India (ECI) has issued a strict warning to the media outlets, barring them from airing the exit poll outcomes on their channels or digital arms before 6:30 pm. The survey results, if released amid the conduct of polls, would violate the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) as it would influence the voting behaviour.
