Step 1 - The counting of postal ballots begins first, and half an hour later, the EVM votes are counted.
Step 2 - EVMs are brought out of the strongroom to the counting area through a "properly barricaded" path to avoid any chance of tampering.
Step 3 : A maximum of 14 EVMs are opened at one time, on separate tables inside the counting area.
Step 4 : One set of 14 EVMs correspond to one round of counting.
Step 5 : At each counting table, sits an election official and one election agent belonging to each of the candidates.
