Verification of votes in at least five voter-verifiable paper audit trails (VVPATs) in each Assembly segment coupled with the high number of candidates is likely to delay the declaration of Lok Sabha election results by at least three hours on Thursday in the state. As Beed has the highest number of candidates which is 36 in the state, the result is expected to come last, only past midnight. Gadchiroli, which has only five candidates, could be the first constituency to get its results.
According to the Hindustan Times, the votes for the state’s 48 constituencies will be counted 38 locations at 48 centres. In Mumbai, the counting for six constituencies will be held at three locations. Depending on the electronic voting machines (EVMs) and counting tables, the centres will have rounds ranging between 17 and 35. Hatkanangale will have 17 rounds, while the highest number of rounds (35) will be held in Bhiwandi and Palghar constituencies.
