Mumbai, June 10: Polling for Rajya Sabha Election 2022 started at 9 am on Friday and continued till 4 pm. The counting began at 5 pm. However, the contest narrowed down after 41 out of the 57 new members were elected unopposed in 11 states. Due to this, the tussle between the parties grew ten-fold in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Haryana, and Rajasthan to claim victory.

Meanwhile, the counting of votes was put on hold in Haryana and Maharashtra after a delegation of the BJP met the Election Commission this evening in Haryana and Maharashtra, asking that "this election be declared null and void on basis of broken rules of secrecy in voting". Similarly, a Congress delegation also met ECI over the allegations of ‘unfair’ polling. Rajya Sabha Elections 2022 Live Updates: 3 Seats for BJP, 1 for Congress in Karnataka.
