PANJIM, MARCH 11: The results for all the 30 wards of the CCP are expected to be out within half an hour, officials said.
District Magistrate Mihir Vardhan stated that the counting would begin at Goa College of Pharmacy at 8 pm and it is expected to be over by 8.30 pm on March 13.
The victory procession and burning of firecrackers is already banned on that day.
The Election Commission in association with the National Informatics Centre (NIC) has set up a website www.northgoa.nic.in which will update the polling percentage and even counting results.
Vardhan said throughout the day, the website will be updated every two hours while results will be instantly displayed on the website.
The commission has also made arrangements at four different places including Miramar, ESG, bus stand and Azad Maidan to show the results live on giant screens.
“We appeal to people not to crowd at the counting station and instead watch the results on screen,” Vardhan said.
Local cable channels will also show the results live.
