According to the guidelines issued by the Election Commission of India (ECI), the counting of postal ballots and then EVMs started at 8 am.
Three-tier security measures were set up by ECI with the deployment of several companies of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) and others at all counting centres. The Chief Election Officer (CEO) had also said that a 100-m radius around the counting centres were declared a "pedestrian zone" and no one will be allowed to drive in that zone.
The early trends indicated an overview of the final result around mid-day but the final results came late evening.
Trends in states with less number of Assembly seats like Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur got clear by afternoon, but the counting of votes in Uttar Pradesh is likely to take some time since the populous state has as many as 403 seats.
