Concerns over the electoral integrity in India have surfaced as activists scrutinize surprising voter turnout figures and constituency delimitation. Following the 2024 Andhra Pradesh elections, a surge in voter turnout was observed, raising questions about procedural consistency and transparency within the electoral process.

Activist Parkala Prabhakar highlighted inconsistencies in the final hours of voting, questioning the procedural veracity during this critical period. Furthermore, the 2023 Assam delimitation exercise was criticized by Yogendra Yadav, alleging it altered electoral boundaries to benefit specific groups, challenging the fairness of the process.

Former CEC SY Qureshi and other experts expressed doubts over claims of large-scale manipulation, yet concerns persist regarding the robustness of electronic voting safeguards, as discussed by senior advocate Prashant Bhushan, who is skeptical of the reliability and transparency of these systems.
