Starting with Bihar, EC tweaks rules for counting postal ballots
The Election Commission has reinstated the prior rule mandating the complete counting of postal ballots before the penultimate round of EVM/VVPAT counts. This revision, set to debut in the upcoming Bihar assembly polls, reverses the 2019 guideline that allowed EVM counting to proceed regardless of the postal ballot stage.
