Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday said it was "absolutely shocking" that the Election Commission has not released the final turnout percentage of assembly polls held yesterday in the national capital.

"Absolutely shocking. What is EC doing? Why are they not releasing poll turnout figures, several hours after polling?" Kejriwal tweeted.

Voting for the Delhi assembly election closed at 6 pm on Saturday. Nearly 22 hours later, the Election Commission is yet to release how many of the 1.47 crore eligible residents voted. The data is usually released on the same evening of the polls.
