Voting for 59 assembly constituencies in the fourth of the seven-phase elections in Uttar Pradesh was held on Wednesday.
The districts where polling was held were Pilibhit, Lakhimpur Kheri, Sitapur, Hardoi, Unnao, Lucknow, Rae Bareli, Banda, and Fatehpur.
Lakhimpur Kheri -- one among the nine districts up for polls -- is the place where last year four farmers were mowed down by cars allegedly carrying Bharatiya Janata Party workers.
Eight people, including the farmers, were killed in the violence there on October 3.
