The Election Commission of India (ECI) dismissed Congress' allegations of “arbitrary deletion” and addition of over 10,000 voters per constituency in Maharashtra’s assembly polls. Responding to claims of unexplained voter turnout increases between 5 PM and final figures, the EC clarified that variations are normal during the aggregation process. The Commission emphasized the transparency of voter roll preparation, noting Congress representatives participated in the process. It reassured that statutory Form 17C safeguards voter turnout accuracy, rendering manipulation impossible. ECI encouraged collaboration with political parties and stated all election-related data is accessible on the CEO Maharashtra's website.
