The Chief Electoral Officer of Karnataka has sent a notice to the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha on allegations of vote theft to the Leader of the Opposition. Rahul made serious allegations at a press conference held in New Delhi on 7 August. He claimed, ‘Election Commission data is showing that Shakun Rani voted twice. This is EC data. This ID card has been voted 2 times. The tick on this is of the officer of the polling booth.
Initially investigations were conducted by the Chief Electoral Officer’s office. It was found that Tick Mark EC is not official documents shown in the presentation by Rahul Gandhi. Apart from this, Shakun Rani has also made a statement that he voted only once. Not twice, as alleged.
