Amid allegations of mismatch, the Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer Saturday released data, which shows a total match between the actual voting and the electronic voting machine countduring the Lok Sabha election.
Polling for the Lok Sabha in the state had taken place on April 18 and April 23.
The Karnataka State Congress president Dinesh Gundu Rao had Friday alleged that there was a 'glaring mismatch' between the actual voting and the EVM count.
To allay doubts, the CEOs office Saturday released the data afresh.
According to the data, there is a total match between the actual voting and the EVM count.
Rao had earlier tweeted "Glaring mismatch in EVM machines figures and Election Commission of India doesnt seem to have any answers.
In a democracy, transparency in the electoral process is of paramount importance. ECI needs to clarify quickly and clearly."
What surprises me is how did BJP lose after winning by huge margins in the Lok Sabha. Needs investigation."
