Chhattisgarh polls: EC rejects claims of inconsistent voting percentage, but widely differing figures cause concern, require inquiry
While the State Election Commission declared the final polling percentage the Chhattisgarh Assembly elections as 76.35 percent, the Directorate of Public Relations pegged the figure at 76.60 percent. Raipur: As though the allegations of EVM tampering during the recent Chhattisgarh Assembly polls weren’t enough, the State Election Commission is now under attack for inconsistent voter turnout data since the final phase of polling on 20 November. While the State Election Commission has declared the final cumulative polling percentage for both phases of the Assembly elections as 76.35 percent, the DPR’s website pegged the figure at 76.60 percent seven days after voting ended. Constituency Polling percentage on 21 Nov Polling percentage on 27 Nov Bharatpur Sonhat 72.88 84 Bhatgaon 76.99 78.21 Pratappur 82.52 83.38 Lormi 71.66 72.08 Mungeli 67.4 69.54 Bhatapara 75.69 76.34 Saja 81.74 82.39 Bhanupratappur 76.77 77.25 Kondagaon 82.84 83.48 Bijapur 47.35 48.49 Premnagar 82.66 80.42 If we look at the results of previous elections in Chhattisgarh, it is apparent that a small difference in voting percentage swayed the results for many candidates.
