'Considering 5 p.m. data as the final voter turnout is merely a misconception'
The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Tuesday categorically said that there was no discrepancy in the voter turnout data in the Maharashtra Assembly elections, held last month.
Notably, on 29th November, the Congress had filed a complaint with the poll panel in which it alleged arbitrary deletion of voters and subsequent additions, and inexplicable increase in voting percentages in Maharashtra polls.
In its detailed response to the Congress, the ECI alleged inexplicable increase in voting percentages in the polls, said: "The so called inexplicable increase in voting percentage from 5 pm to the final voter percentage declared by ECI at 11:30 pm on day of poll (20th November), it is stated upfront that there is no discrepancy whatsoever in the voter turnout."
