Lok Sabha Election Updates 2024: Strong Rooms Have Opened, Only 30 Minutes Left For Voting To Begin

Lok Sabha Election Vote Counting Live Updates: Postal Ballots To Open First At 8 AM

The vote counting for the Lok Sabha elections will begin at 8 AM, starting with the postal ballots. This initial step is crucial as postal ballots, often cast by military personnel, government employees on election duty, and other absentee voters, are counted before the regular votes cast through Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). 

Once the postal ballots have been tallied, the process will move on to the votes recorded via EVMs. This systematic approach ensures a comprehensive and orderly counting process. Postal ballots can sometimes indicate early trends, providing a preliminary glimpse into the election outcome. 

The Election Commission has meticulously planned this schedule to ensure transparency and accuracy. As the day progresses, detailed results from each phase of the election will be released, offering a clearer picture of the overall results. This meticulous process underscores the significance of every vote and the diligence with which the democratic process is upheld.
