Sample projection by CEO's office led to wide variation in turnout %

THE significant difference in the voter turnout data between the provisional figures released by the office of Chief Electoral officer after the Lok Sabha elections at 7.30pm (72.09%) on Friday and at 12am (69.46%) on Saturday stirred considerable confusion among the public. While minor variations are expected in these figures in every poll, variations in the range of seven to 13.5 percentage points in several constituencies led to concerns over data quality.
