Voting percentage in Voter Turnout App for Nilambur bypoll is approximate and not final: Chief electoral officer
T'puram: The office of the chief electoral officer stated that the voting percentage displayed in the Voter Turnout App is not final for the Nilambur bypoll. The chief electoral officer clarified that the voter turnout percentage shown in the application represents approximate voting trends in percentage terms only.
These figures are indicative in nature and should not be interpreted as exact or certified data.
"The voter turnout information is provided solely for facilitation and informational purposes to give the public a general sense of voting activity during the election process," a press release stated. Additionally, the displayed voter turnout information does not include data from postal ballot voting, which is compiled separately and added to the final official count, according to the statement.
"Users are advised to refer to the official announcements and statutory documents issued by the respective returning officers for any legal, electoral or official purposes," the press release said.
The voting process was peaceful and at the end of the polling, the electronic voting machines were transferred to the strong room and sealed in the presence of the candidates or their representatives. The strong room, where the voting machines are stored, will be under double-layer security by the Central armed police force and the state armed police force.

The EC successfully used new facilities at the Nilambur bypoll, including mobile phone storage facilities at the polling booth, the updated voter turnout rate (VTR) sharing process and 100% webcasting of polling stations. The updated VTR sharing process allowed the presiding officer at each polling station to directly record voting status every two hours on the new ECINET application on polling day. This helped reduce delays in updating approximate polling trends, which were automatically collected at the constituency level, a press release said.
Webcasting was monitored to ensure that critical activities were conducted smoothly and that there were no violations of the polling process.

'Khamenei has not authorized...': What Tulsi Gabbard said in March about Iran's nuclear program
Tulsi Gabbard comes under fire for changing her statement on Iran. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has now blamed the media for taking her March statement out of context as President Donald Trump now publicly rebuked her for not alerting the administration enough about Iran's nuclear capabilities. On the first occasion, the president said he did not care what Gabbard said in March and in another statement, he said Gabbard was wrong. Tulsi Gabbard made a complete U-turn amid her position being threatened over the Iran-Israel war, saying the "dishonest media" intentionally took her testimony out of context and spread fake news to manufacture division. Gabbard said America has intelligence that Iran is at the point that it can produce a nuclear weapon within weeks to months, if they decide to finalize the assembly. Did Tulsi Gabbard say the same thing in the testimony? Tulsi Gabbard testified at a House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence hearing for the annual threat assessment of the US Intelligence Community (IC). She said the IC sees China, Russia, Iran and North Korea engaging I activities that could challenge US capabilities and interests. On Iran, she said that the country is seeking to expand its influence in the Middle East, despite the "degradation of its proxies and defenses during the Gaza conflict". by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo "Iran has developed and maintains ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and UAVs, including systems capable of striking U.S. targets and allies in the region. They've shown a willingness to use these weapons, including during a 2020 attack on US forces in Iraq and in attacks against Israel in April and October 2024. Iran's cyber operations and capabilities also present a serious threat to US networks and data." Then Tulsi Gabbard categorically went on to say that the IOC continues to assess that Iran is "not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme leader Khomeini has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003". "We continue to monitor closely if Tehran decides to reauthorize its nuclear weapons program. In the past year, we've seen an erosion of a decades long taboo in Iran on discussing nuclear weapons in public likely emboldening nuclear weapons advocates within Iran's decision-making apparatus. Iran's enriched uranium stockpile is at its highest levels and is unprecedented for a state without nuclear weapons. Iran will likely continue efforts to counter Israel and press for U.S. military withdrawal from the region by aiding, arming, and helping to reconstitute its loose consortium of like-minded terrorists, actors, which it refers to as its 'Axis of Resistance.' Although weakened, this collection of actors still presents a wide range of threats including to Israel's population, U.S. forces deployed in Iraq and Syria, as well as U.S. and international military and commercial shipping and transit," Gabbard said.
