To ensure election integrity during India’s 2024 General Election, the IPMIE has been formed to support domestic election monitoring initiativesindiaelectionmonitor.orgJoined February 2024
We monitored #India's General Election earlier this year, highlighting serious concerns about violations of election and democratic processes. Join us to hear about our final recommendations on 30 August
Now that there's so much conversation around EVMs, a reminder that it's been almost a week since we published this story and the Election Commission is yet to respond on why EVM votes polled do not match votes counted in over 300 constituencies.

Testimonies and election data suggest that the suppression of SP voters helped the BJP win UP's Farrukhabad by just 2,678 votes, while the @ECISVEEP did nothing.

This story on EVM votes mismatch by @himansshhi just shows why it was important that @ECISVEEP released absolute numbers after every phase. If civil society and journalists had not put pressure on ECI, we wouldn't have known of these discrepancies.

Eight bogus votes captured on camera
But what went unrecorded in the seat that BJP won with a razor-thin margin of 2,678 votes?

While forming the government, Modi may do whatever it takes, but thereafter he will recoil back to his fascist persona with a vengeance || To Think of Modi 3.0 as Less Dangerous Would Be a Misreading || Anand Teltumbde m.thewire.in/article/politi…
I don’t know who will form the government, but I hope he has a sense of self deprecating humour, that he is kind and compassionate, that his heart beats for the people, that he does not take potshots at his opponents, and that he brings peace and harmony, I dream for my country.
Despite a spineless ECI, despite opposition leaders in jail, despite voter suppression, despite plaint media, despite frozen bank accounts, despite ED, IT, CBI....
This is nothing short of history. The aura of invincibility is shattered.
In our latest report on #India's #GeneralElection, we highlight numerous violations of electoral laws and codes of conduct. We urge electoral authorities to act now to restore electoral integrity. Read more here: indiaelectionmonitor.org/second-interim…
The venerable @ECISVEEP has released phase 6 turnout in absolute numbers within 72 hours of polling.
So why didn't it release this for the first 5 phases? Why the resistance?
Journalists should save this question for the post-poll press conference.
