How is election vote counting done?
- The process begins with counting of postal ballots and electronic postal ballots. Once done, EVM votes are counted and early trends begin to emerge.
- Only counting staff, returning officers, security personnel and candidate agents are allowed inside the counting centres. No one else can enter and mobile phones are not permitted for anyone except those on official duty.
- Candidate agents must stay inside until counting is fully complete. If any agent suspects something is wrong, they can request a recount but only after the official result has been announced.
- The Returning Officer records the votes received by each candidate on a result sheet, officially declares the winner and hands a victory certificate.
- Once counting wraps up, the EVMs are sealed and returned to the strong room, where they must remain for 45 days following the counting day as per the rules.
