The Chief Electoral Officer, Madhup Vyas, mentioned that a three-tier security setup has been arranged in all 13 counting centers across the state. There will be three counting centers in the state capital, Aizawl, and one in each of the other district headquarters. In total, there will be 40 counting halls with 379 counting tables. Each table will have a counting supervisor, counting agent, and micro-observer for supervision and monitoring.
According to Vyas, the vote-counting process will commence at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, starting with the postal ballots and followed by the votes cast in the EVMs. This organized approach ensures a systematic and secure counting process for the election results in Mizoram.
