India Releases World's Largest Electoral Dataset for 2024 Elections

Election Commission of India publishes detailed reports on voter demographics, turnout, and trends to enhance transparency and research.

The dataset includes 42 reports on the Lok Sabha elections and 14 reports each on four state assembly elections, offering granular insights into voter behavior and electoral trends.
India's registered voters increased by 7.43% to 97.97 crore in 2024, with 64.64 crore votes cast, marking a 5.3% rise in total votes since 2019.
Female voter turnout surpassed male participation at 65.78%, and third-gender voter turnout nearly doubled to 27.09%, reflecting growing inclusivity in the electoral process.
Repolling was conducted at only 40 polling stations, a significant decline from 540 in 2019, highlighting improved electoral efficiency.
The data facilitates time-series analysis and is expected to bolster global research on electoral policies and counter criticisms of non-disclosure.
