Next Indian Elections

Scoop | In Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, and Sikkim — states which conducted simultaneous elections for Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha in 2024 — a mismatch of 81,916 votes has been found between votes polled in both the elections, even when voting for both was held simultaneously at the same polling booths.
Of these 63,389 were EVM votes, while 18,527 votes were polled using postal ballots.
These findings are based on an analysis by The Quint of the detailed results published by the Election Commission of India (ECI) on 24 December 2024.
