Key Guidelines for Vote Counting Day

The Election Commission of India (ECI) has outlined several guidelines for the vote counting process:

The strong room, where the electronic voting machines (EVMs) are stored, will be opened in the presence of candidates, their authorized representatives, Returning Officer/Assistant Returning Officer, and an ECI Observer. This will be recorded on video. Only the Control Units (CUs) of the polled EVMs will be moved to the counting hall, under security and CCTV coverage, and in the presence of candidates or their agents. CUs will be brought to the counting tables round by round, under continuous CCTV monitoring, from the strong rooms. Before the counting begins, seals on the CUs will be checked, and their unique serial numbers will be verified in front of the counting agents appointed by the candidates. During the counting, agents can compare the displayed votes on the CU with the figures in Form-17C. Votes for each candidate are recorded in Part II of Form-17C, and signatures of the counting agents are collected. After the results are retrieved, EVMs and VVPATs (Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail) will be securely returned to the strong room, where they will remain until the election petition period concludes.
