In the Electoral College system, Kovind's votes are worth 479585 while Kumar's have a value of 204594 at the end of counting of ballots in Parliament House and 11 states.
This was announced by Returing Officer Anoop Mishra.
The states where the counting has finished include Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Jammu and Kashmir, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh, he said.
Kovind is expected to win the race for the top constitutional post given that the BJP and its allies have a majority in electoral college comprising Members of Parliament and members of legislative assemblies of all states.
