Congress Complains To Election Commission Over Delayed Results In Haryana Elections

The Congress party filed a formal complaint with the Election Commission (EC) on Tuesday, alleging a deliberate delay in updating leads and results on the EC’s website during the Haryana elections.

In an “urgent memorandum” submitted to the poll panel, Congress highlighted an “unexplained slowdown” in result updates on the EC website during the crucial hours from 9 to 11 a.m. The party expressed concern that such delays could allow misinformation to spread, undermining the electoral process.

“As you can imagine, this allows bad-faith actors to spin out narratives that undermine the process,” the complaint stated. “We fear these narratives could influence counting processes still underway in most counting centers.”

Congress requested that the EC issue immediate directives to ensure timely updates on the website to counter false information.

Earlier, Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh took to social media platform X to raise questions about discrepancies in the displayed results on the EC portal. “We hope the Election Commission will answer our questions. The results of 10-11 rounds are out, but only four to five rounds are update on the site,” he post, criticizing those sharing outdated trends.

Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera echoed these concerns, questioning the mismatch in reporting. “Why this mismatch? Why aren’t channels, journalists, and reporters showing the counting from the centers as they usually do?” he asked, noting that the EC website appeared to be lagging behind the actual vote counting.

This is not the first time Congress has raised similar issues; during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the party also filed complaints regarding slow vote counting in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, claiming it was allegedly directed by “political masters.”
