The church leaders further said that December 8, the day of counting of votes, is Sunday, which is a holy day for Christians.
If the counting is held on the day, it will be inconvenient for the community and will also hurt the sentiments of the people in the Christian-dominated state.
State election department officials reportedly told the church leaders that the matter is in the hands of the Election Commission and the only thing they can do is convey their sentiments.
The church leaders said that they would send a representation to the Election Commission on the issue by next week and would also meet the Chief Election Commissioner V S Sampath and other Election Commissioners when they visited the state to oversee poll preparedness.
