<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">The counting of votes for all 243 seats in the Bihar Assembly elections began on Friday under a tight, multi-layered security setup across the state. The process started at 8 a.m. with the scrutiny of postal ballots, followed by the counting of Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) votes.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">A comprehensive security system has been placed around 46 counting centres spread across 38 districts. Central Armed Police Forces are posted in the innermost security ring surrounding strongrooms and counting halls, while Bihar Police and district forces manage the outer perimeter.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">More than 106 companies of security personnel from outside Bihar have been deployed to maintain order. The strongrooms containing EVMs and VVPATs have been under constant CCTV surveillance since polling ended. Candidates and their representatives are allowed to watch the security arrangements outside the restricted zone.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Security has also been reinforced in districts like Bhojpur and Bhagalpur, where barricades, magistrate deployment, and CAPF units have been added to ensure smooth counting operations.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">The counting process is being supervised by 243 Returning Officers and 243 Counting Observers appointed by the Election Commission. Over 18,000 counting agents representing candidates are present at various centres. Entry is strictly regulated, and mobile phones are banned inside the halls.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">The Election Commission has urged the public and media to rely solely on its official results portal and the Voter Helpline App for real-time updates and accurate trends.</span></p>
