Vishnu Pooja was conducted for Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan on the day of vote counting, May 4, 2026. The ceremony took place at the Kanathur Mahavishnu Temple.
Vote counting commenced at 8:00 AM across 140 centers in Kerala. Postal ballots were counted first, followed by EVM results starting at 8:30 AM.
In West Bengal, the counting involves 293 constituencies. Authorities reduced the number of counting centers from 108 to 77 for enhanced security.
The Supreme Court mandated that central government staff be present during the counting. This requirement aims to ensure transparency and adherence to security protocols.
Real-time results are available on results.eci.gov.in and through the ECINET app. Observers have been deployed to maintain oversight during the process.
The Trinamool Congress is actively engaged in monitoring the situation in West Bengal as results begin to unfold. The party has expressed concerns regarding potential irregularities.
Security measures include strict protocols and QR-code identification for counting centers in Kerala. Officials are implementing these measures to prevent any disruptions during the count.
As results come in, both state parties and national observers will scrutinize trends closely. The implications of these outcomes could significantly impact future political alignments.
The atmosphere remains tense as party workers await updates on their respective constituencies. The next significant update is expected shortly after the EVM results are announced.
