Amid high security, polling ended peacefully today in the sixth and the final phase of West Bengal Assembly elections for 14 seats in the Maoist heartland of Purulia, West Mindapore and Bankura, which saw a huge turnout despite earlier calls of boycott by Maoists and widespread fears of bloodshed.



In Junglemahal, alleged Maoist sympathisers who had earlier warned locals not to come out for voting were seen rallying people to booths.



The voter turnout in the region today was 10 per cent higher than the 2009 Assembly elections although the voting ended at 3 pm. The final voting recorded today was 85.09 per cent on an average in all the 14 constituencies. In the 2009 parliamentary polls, the overall voting percentage was 76.49 per cent.



While West Midnapore recorded 87.24 per cent voting, Purulia and Bankura recorded 80.22 and 85.58 per cent, respectively.
