Declaration of results on three Arunachal assembly seats

Counting of votes for three Assembly seats in Upper Subansiri district was delayed as the outcome of the postal ballots has not been made available on time, an election official said on Friday. The counting official went away from the counting centre without handing over the results for which counting could not be continued as per the guidelines. However, it started after the polling official returned and handed over the results, Additional Chief Electoral Officer Kanki Darang informed.

Even after more than 34 hours, counting of votes could not be completed for the three Arunachal Pradesh assembly constituencies--Daporijo, Dumdumporijo and Raga-- due to this. But, later the counting process began and the result of Daporijo assembly seat has been declared while that of the rest two are still awaited.
