The Election Commission on Friday announced that the counting of votes for the Mizoram Assembly election would take place on December 4, instead of December 3.
The commission, in a statement, said it had received several representations from various quarters requesting for a change in the date of counting from December 3 to some other week day on the ground that Sunday holds a special significance for the people of Mizoram. Church programmes are held on Sunday.
The counting of votes in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Telangana, and Chhattisgarh, which had also gone to the polls between November 7 and 30, would take place on Sunday, as announced earlier.
