Discrepancy in number of votes polled and votes counted in 538 constituencies in LS polls: ADR

The Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) has reported discrepancies in votes polled and counted in 538 constituencies during the Lok Sabha election. 362 constituencies showed fewer counted votes and 176 showed an excess. ADR expressed concerns over delays in releasing final voter turnout data and election result discrepancies, awaiting a response from the Election Commission. A total of 5,54,598 votes were counted less than polled in some areas, and 35,093 votes were counted in excess in others. This raised questions about the accuracy of the election results.
