    What's the story

    The northeastern states of Tripura, Meghalaya, and Nagaland went to polls last month to elect a new Assembly.

    The counting of votes has begun at 8:00 am on Thursday, as per the Election Commission of India (ECI).

    Interestingly, most exit polls earlier predicted the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is likely to retain Tripura and Nagaland, where it is part of the ruling coalitions.

    Details

    Counting begins with postal ballots

    According to the ECI's official website, the counting of votes on Thursday will begin with the counting of the postal ballots, followed by the votes polled in the electronic voting machines (EVMs).

    The vote-counting exercise has reportedly begun under a three-tier security arrangement involving the Central Armed Police Force (CAPF).
