Ajmer Counting Process Detailed as Parties Await Results

In Ajmer, election officials have set up a comprehensive counting operation for the 2026 municipal elections. Six counting rooms are in use, five of which contain seven tables each, while a sixth room holds six tables. Each table is assigned to a specific ward, and the corresponding EVMs are brought in sequence for tallying. The process begins with the counting of postal ballots; where no postal ballots exist, electronic voting machines start counting at 8 a.m. Access to the counting centers is restricted to authorized candidates, their agents, and counting staff, with passes issued for entry. Mobile phones are prohibited inside the counting halls, and Section 163 of the law is enforced to curb any celebratory processions or disturbances. The police have reinforced security with three entry gates, separate parking zones, and traffic diversions to ensure smooth movement and prevent crowding.
