Official results
Polling ran in seven phases from 19 April to 1 June 2024, with counting on 4 June; the date shown is the first polling day. India elects one member in each of 543 constituencies. The percentages below are each party's share of seats, not national vote share; nationally aggregated votes do not directly allocate seats under first-past-the-post. Turnout of 65.79% is the Election Commission's polling-station figure announced on 6 June 2024, before postal ballots were added.

The Integrity Ledger
What the evidence establishes, and what it does not — side by side, each finding sourced and tiered.
What is established
- Information operationsConfirmed
OpenAI identified and disrupted a covert STOIC-operated campaign that used AI-generated comments to criticize the BJP and praise the Congress party during the election period; it reported disrupting the India-focused activity less than 24 hours after it began.
Sources:1
What is not established
- Information operationsDebunked
The measured activity did not achieve meaningful authentic engagement. OpenAI detected the India phase less than 24 hours after it began and assigned all disrupted operations a low breakout score.
More detail
This is a platform-side reach finding, not proof that no related content existed outside OpenAI's visibility.
Sources:1 - Result falsificationAlleged
No authoritative finding cited here establishes falsification of the count. The influence-operation report concerns online content generation and posting only, and does not address access to EVMs, VVPAT records, constituency counts or the official result; this is a limit of the available sources, not an audit that ruled falsification out.
