The ADR report also found that 182 (27%) candidates brought criminal charges against themselves, with 40 (83%) of 48 candidates from SP and 23 (44%) of 52 candidates from BJP , 39% from Congress other than 52, 22 of 57 (39%) from BSP, and 7 of 51 (14%) from AAP.
Thirty-seven (65%) of the 57 constituencies voted on March 3 were “red alert” constituencies. A “red alert” constituency is a constituency where three or more competing candidates have brought criminal charges.

In February 2020, the Supreme Court ordered political parties to justify issuing tickets to candidates with criminal backgrounds and why other candidates with no criminal records could not be selected.

The ADR report also noted that the data collected showed that political parties had no interest in reforming the electoral system. “…our democracy will continue to suffer at the hands of lawbreakers turned lawmakers,” it said.
