The poll panel had stuck to December 3 as the scheduled day for counting of votes in Mizoram, along with other states including Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Telangana. Major political parties, civil societies organisation and others had urged the poll panel to change the counting date as it falls on Sunday, coinciding with church programmes.

Mizoram's chief electoral officer Madhup Vyas had told PTI that counting of votes does not involve common people and they are free to do what they like on December 3 as only the designated staff who work directly under the EC would be involved in the counting of votes,

Polling for the 40-member Mizoram assembly was held on November 7. More than 80 per cent of over 8.57 lakh voters cast their votes to decide the fate of 174 candidates.
