The blame for that falls squarely on the organization responsible for ensuring a free and fair poll: the Election Commission of India. Nor has it released complete polling data, as it did in 2019. Considering that all of India’s voting is electronic, this information is readily available. The election body also sought to show that polling figures were updated in previous years as well. The commission is “not legally bound to publish any voter turnout data” for a constituency, state or phase of election, it said in its letter to the Congress Party.
