New Delhi: “The provisional voter turnout data, reported on the ECI website, is only the tentative number of voters and not the final numbers. Therefore, it is an incorrect inference to find ghost voters when there are none,” the poll panel said.
The Election Commission on Saturday said there were no “ghost voters” in the Lok Sabha election, as reported in a section of the media based on the provisional turnout data uploaded on its website.
“The provisional voter turnout data, reported on the ECI website, is only the tentative number of voters and not the final numbers. Therefore, it is an incorrect inference to find ghost voters when there are none,” the EC said in a statement.
It said two categories of votes — those polled in the electronic voting machines (EVMs) and the postal ballots — are counted to determine the final result.
