Counting of votes begins across 46 centres for 243 assembly seats in Bihar. The initial trends will be out shortly.

The counting of ballot votes has started. As per Commission’s directions, postal ballot counting will begin first, counting of EVMs will begin thereafter at 8.30 AM. Counting of postal ballots is to be completed before the penultimate round of EVM counting. Postal ballots are counted in the presence of candidates or their counting agents by the RO/ARO.

Tejashwi Yadav, the Chief Ministerial candidate of the opposition Mahagathbandhan, on the eve of counting, alleged a BJP plan to manipulate the results.

Speaking at a press conference late Thursday evening, Yadav said, "We have received information that a strategy has been developed to slow down the entire counting process tomorrow, especially in seats where the margins are low".

"Our appeal to all officials, and especially the Election Commission, is that -- count the votes impartially," he added.
