All eyes are on Saturday’s vote count. A glance at the arrangements the Election Commission has made for the mammoth exercise across the country:

• Total counting centres: 1,080

• Total counting halls: 4,260

• Counting staff deployed: approximately 60,000

• Secure arrangements for counting agents of candidates to witness the counting procedure.

• A micro-observer at every table

• Random checking of electronic voting machines (EVMs) by recounting of two counted machines after every round by micro-observers.

• Proceedings in the counting hall shall be video-graphed.

• Tabulated data to be verified by observers.

• Each counting centre has one counting hall for every segment of the constituency, one data centre and one media centre.

• The result sheet from each counting hall after the end of every round shall be sent to data centre and the media centre simultaneously.
