NEW DELHI: Voter turnout in Delhi Assembly elections was 62. 95 percent, according to Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Ranbir Singh on Sunday.

"The voter turnout in Delhi was 62.59 percent. It is about 2 percent more than the last Lok Sabha elections. It is, however, less than the turnout in the last Assembly polls held in 2015," Singh said at a press conference here.

The Delhi CEO added that "the highest voter turnout was recorded in Ballimaran assembly constituency at 71.6 percent while the lowest voter turnout was recorded in Delhi Cantonment at 45.4 percent."

"Voter turnout data is submitted by returning officers who were busy throughout the night, then they became busy in scrutiny. It has taken a little bit of time but, in data entry, it is very important to ensure accuracy," he said.

Earlier in the day, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had questioned the Election Commission over the unusual delay in the release of the voter turnout data.

As Delhi elections concluded on Saturday evening, the exit polls predicted that AAP will win a two-thirds majority with some giving it a three-fourth majority in the 70-member assembly. They predicted that Congress will continue its dismal show in the national capital.
