Panaji, March 18 (PTI): Voting for the zilla panchayat (ZP) polls in Goa, which has 149 candidates in the fray contesting from 50 constituencies, began this morning.

The polling process began at 8 AM. Though not many voters turned up to exercise their franchise in the initial hour, the turnout is expected to go up after 10 AM.

Congress and NCP leaders are supporting various candidates in different constituencies.

Polling is being held at 1,209 booths across the state-- 628 in North Goa and 581 in South Goa.
