Election Commission responds to Congress, says it followed poll processes transparently

Noting that a transparent process is followed with the involvement of candidates and their agents at every stage of the voting process, the Election Commission has invited a Congress delegation to meet it on December 3 over its apprehensions concerning the voting percentage in Maharashtra elections.

Congress had also raised some apprehensions about the EVM process after the Haryana assembly polls.

The poll panel has said it will review all legitimate concerns of Congress and provide written response after hearing the party's delegation.

The Election Commission of India (ECI), in its interim response to Congress, reaffirmed that there is a transparent process with the involvement of candidates or their agents at every stage.
