All counting centres are connected by broadband and hence the information given by returning officers will be immediately available on the website. These details will be displayed on wide screen at the media centre also.

On the website, information on leads from various constituencies and the results will get updated automatically every few seconds. The name of the constituency, candidate who is leading, the number of votes, party, coalition, opposing candidate, number of votes, his/her party and coalition, lead would be available on the website.

This is the first time that such a centralised arrangement is being made in the State for announcing election results.
