The main goal is to create a community-based experience and to make the process of viewing election results more entertaining. While some have welcomed this concept, others have raised concerns about disruptions and vandalism.
The Election Commission has announced that the counting of votes for the Lok Sabha election, the legislative assemblies of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, and the bye-elections to assembly constituencies will begin at 8 am.
The election was conducted in seven phases: April 19, April 26, May 7, May 13, May 20, May 25, and June 1.
