The Commission had earlier sent fact-finding teams to Bettiah and Siwan following complaints of poll irregularities in the two constituencies.

Controversial RJD MP Mohd Sahabuddin is seeking re-election from Siwan and noted film maker Prakash Jha is contesting from Bettiah.

The Commission had already countermanded elections in Chapra and ordered repoll on May 31 in the constituency where RJD supremo Laloo Prasad Yadav is pitted against Union Minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy.
