The Election Commission expects a slight delay in the announcement of results as there is an 89% increase in polling stations this time and therefore the number of EVMs/VVPATs has also gone up, while there is a reduction in the number of counting tables per hall to ensure social distancing within the closed premises. The first trend is expected by 10am. On average, there will be 15 rounds of counting in every constituency. So, by 4pm or 5pm, the first results can be expected, chief electoral officer Teeka Ram Meena told agencies.
