Imphal, March 05 2012:
Finally, the long anxious wait is over.
Votes polled more than a month back on January 28 as well as the votes polled on February 4, March 4 and 5 would be counted tomorrow in 18 halls spread across all the district headquarters.
Tomorrow would certainly decide the fate of the 279 candidates and also, most probably the composition of next Government.
Chief Electoral Officer PC Lawmkunga, talking to The Sangai Express, informed that EVMs used in yesterday's re-poll held at 63 polling stations have been brought to their respective district headquarters.
EVMs used in today's re-poll at four polling stations of Tamei AC would be airlifted.
In case, the same could not be airlifted they would brought till Tamenglong district headquarters by road.
Necessary security measures have been put in place for counting of votes.
Moreover, Assam Rifles have been asked to sanitise all the areas where votes would be counted.
