A day ahead of the results of the Delhi Assembly election, former Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Friday alleged that the Election Commission (EC) has refused to upload Form 17C and the number of votes polled per booth in each Assembly of Delhi on its official website "despite several requests".
He took to X and posted, "EC has refused to upload form 17C and number of votes polled per booth in each assembly despite several requests. Aam Aadmi Party has made a website - http://transparentelections.in where we have uploaded all the form 17C of every assembly. This form has all the details of votes polled in each booth."
"Through the day, we will present the data of every assembly and every booth in a tabulated format as well so that every voter can access this information. This is something that the election commission should have done in the interest of transparency but it is unfortunate that they are refusing to do it," he added.
Form 17C is a document that records the number of votes cast at each polling booth and is signed by the presiding officer and polling agents.
The AAP chief's allegation came a day ahead of counting of votes for the much-awaited Delhi Assembly elections which will decide whether his party will come to power for a fourth consecutive term or the BJP will form a government in the national capital after 27 years.
Multiple exit polls indicated that the BJP is poised to dethrone AAP, which has governed Delhi since 2015.
