The two main NGOs involved were the Association for Democratic Reforms and the Common Cause which sought a direction through the petition to the Election Commission of India to come up with a strong procedure to investigate the reported discrepancies in the voter turnout and the number of votes counted in different constituencies. Out of a total of 547 constituencies discrepancies were found in 347 seats.

The petition clarified that the current law has provisions for dispute resolution only through an election petition and that there is no provision for the resolution of problems regarding the discrepancies reported all over the country.
