Election Commission of India has published the Index Cards and the Statistical Reports for the General Elections to the Legislative Assemblies and Bye-Elections 2026 which concluded on May 6, 2026. The Index Cards and Statistical Reports have been published for all 830 ACs which went to polls. Re-poll has been scheduled for 144-Falta AC of West Bengal on May 21, 2026.
Index Cards for General Elections to Legislative Assemblies and bye-elections have been made available within a record time of 72 hours of the declaration of the poll results. It may be recalled that the digital updation and faster publication of Index Cards and Statistical reports is one of the over 30 initiatives taken in the last one year by the Commission. Before the introduction of ECINET, the process used to take several weeks to months as the data used to be manually filled by the field officials.
The Index Cards contain data across multiple dimensions such as candidates, electors, votes polled, votes counted, party-wise and candidate-wise votes polled etc. These Index Cards can be accessed from both the platforms i.e. ECINET App (About Elections tab → Current Elections → Index Cards) and the official ECI website at https://www.eci.gov.in/statistical-reports
ECI has concurrently published a set of 14 Statistical Reports for General Elections. This is the first time that the Statistical Reports have been published within 72 hours of the declaration of poll results.
The Statistical Reports cover a range of variables, such as details of State level & AC-wise electors, number of polling stations, State/ AC-wise voter turnout, gender-wise poll participation, party-wise vote share, constituency data summary report, constituency wise detailed results among other details.
The publication of statistical reports is a suo-moto initiative of ECI to promote transparency and accessibility of election-related data for all stakeholders including academia, researchers and the public and are prepared from the secondary data filled in the Index Cards.
The primary data is in the statutory forms maintained by the concerned Returning Officers and the data kept in statutory forms is final.
