The number of voters in the Bagmati Province National Assembly election has decreased by 9. According to the Bagmati Province Election Office, Hetauda, ​​the number of voters for the Bagmati Province National Assembly has decreased by 9 due to the resignation of 6 provincial assembly members, two metropolitan mayors and one municipal mayor, said Hari Prasad Dhakal, head of the Bagmati Province Election Office. 'The final number of voters was 347, but now only 338 voters will remain as they have resigned from their respective positions and are running for the House of Representatives election,' he said. For the National Assembly election, there should be 348 voters, including the 110-member provincial assembly of Bagmati Province, 119 local level chairmen and vice-chairmen, and 238 municipal mayors and deputy mayors, but the list of voters made public by the Election Officer's Office, Hetauda, ​​only 237 names were included in the list of voters for the municipal mayors and deputy mayors and rural municipality chairmen and vice-chairmen.
