New Delhi: 

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday said it was "absolutely shocking" that the Election Commission has not released the final voter turnout of assembly polls held a day ago in the national capital.

"Absolutely shocking. What is EC doing? Why are they not releasing poll turnout figures, several hours after polling?" Mr Kejriwal tweeted, while his party alleged voter fraud by tampering the Electronic Voting Machines or EVMs.

Voting for the Delhi assembly election closed at 6 pm on Saturday. Nearly 24 hours later, the Election Commission is yet to release how many of the 1.47 crore eligible residents voted. The data is usually released on the same evening of the polls.

After reporting unusually low voter turnout through most of the day on Saturday, the Election Commission reported a spurt in turnout and released provisional figures at the end of voting at 57.06 per cent. The figure was significantly low from the 2015 turnout when it was 67.5 per cent though election officials said the number was likely to go up in the final tally.

During the day, many also noted the sizeable difference between the figures being reported on the Election Commission's smartphone application and those being released every two hours by the Chief Electoral Officer of Delhi.

Late into the night, Election Commission spokesperson Sheyphali Sharan posted a screenshot of the app at 10:17 pm - almost four hours after voting ended - saying that the "estimated" turnout was 61.43 per cent. On Sunday, sources in the poll body said the final turnout is expected to be around 62.5 per cent. The Election Commission, however, is yet to release a final number through its usual channels.

The disconcerting delay added to questions raised by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on the security of EVMs. Releasing a number of videos, the party claimed that there were many reports of EVMs being taken away illegally to tamper with them. Election Commission officials have denied the charges.

Delhi 2020 | Final turnout figure delayed as returning officers were busy with scrutiny of data, says Delhi CEO

Final turnout was 62.59%, says Election Commission.

Delhi Chief Electoral Officer Ranbir Singh on February 9 said there was no unusual delay in announcing the final voter turnout figure as the returning officers were busy with scrutiny of data throughout the night to ensure its accuracy.

Addressing a press conference, Mr. Singh sought to allay all the fears as expressed by a section of political parties over delay in releasing the final voting figures for the Delhi assembly elections held on February 8, saying “they did not want to speculate and wanted to give exact figures”.

The final voter turnout in the Delhi polls was 62.59%, senior Election Commission officials said.

“So, returning officers worked throughout the night to check data to ensure it is accurate,” Mr. Singh said while asserting that the delay was not unusual rather it was done in a good time.

He said there were more than 13,700 polling stations in the national capital and they had to add data from each station and ensure that every vote is accounted for.

It is not matter of late or early as soon as the voting per cent was finalised, it was shared with the public, he said.

Mr. Singh’s remarks came after Delhi Chief Minister and AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal questioned the “delay” by the Election Commissioner in giving the final voter turnout figure for the assembly polls, and said it was suspicious and asked if the poll panel was waiting for BJP office’s nod.

Elections to the 70-member Delhi Assembly were held on Saturday.

In the 2015 Assembly polls, Delhi had recorded a voter turnout of 67.47%.

Exit polls on Saturday predicted an easy win for the Aam Aadmi Party, which sought to retain power on development plank, against the BJP that ran an aggressive campaign centred around the issues of anti-CAA protests and nationalism.
