flag India delays final vote counts until all postal ballots are processed to ensure transparency.

flag The Election Commission of India has updated its vote counting process to boost transparency, requiring that the penultimate EVM and VVPAT count begin only after all postal ballots—both physical and electronically transmitted—are fully counted at each center. flag This change, first applied in Bihar’s upcoming assembly polls, aims to prevent premature result announcements amid a surge in postal voting due to expanded eligibility for seniors over 85 and persons with disabilities. flag The reform is part of 30 changes in six months, including mobile ballot drop points, improved voter slips, live turnout reporting, stricter EVM checks, and a new digital platform, all designed to strengthen India’s electoral integrity and efficiency.
