Amid reports of voters facing problems due to faulty EVMs in some wards, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday alleged that people with voter slips were not allowed to exercise their right .

Kejriwal made the allegation after all the three Municipal Corporations of Delhi registered a very low voters turnout .

Taking to micro-blogging site, Kejriwal tweeted, "Reports from all over Delhi of EVM malfunction, people with voter slips not allowed to vote. What is SEC doing?."

Earlier in the day, former Delhi minister and BJP leader Arvind Singh Lovely also could not cast his vote early morning as there were some problems in the EVMs at the polling booth in East Azad Nagar area.

"I reached the polling station at 8 AM. However, I could not vote as the EVM was not working so I had to leave due to some urgent work. I will go later to cast my vote," Lovely said.

There were also complaints of faulty EVMs in North Delhi Burari area and South West Delhi's Kapashera due to which voting had to be stopped for a few minutes.

"There were few complaints of the functioning of EVMs at Burari and Kapashera which has been rectified," an official source said.

Some people could not vote because their names were missing from the voters list.

Voting for choosing municipal councillors is being held at 13,000 polling stations across the national capital.

Out of the 13,022 polling stations, police authorities have declared 3,284 as sensitive and 1,464 as hyper-sensitive.
