    Delhi recorded 62.59% voter turnout, says EC, dismissing delay allegations
  • Delhi recorded a voter turnout of 62.59% during Saturday's polling for the Assembly elections, the Election Commission announced on Sunday.

    On Sunday evening, the EC held a press conference to address the controversy over a day's delay in the release of polling figures.

    Earlier in the day, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had slammed the EC for not releasing poll turnout figures.
