Voting is underway in the first phase of Assam's Panchayat elections, with voters turning up in large numbers across 14 districts early Friday morning.

The first phase covers 19 districts, including Sonitpur, Biswanath, Dhemaji, Lakhimpur, Tinsukia, Dibrugarh, Sivasagar, Charaideo, Jorhat, Majuli, Golaghat, Cachar, Hailakandi, and Sribhumi.
