NEW DELHI, Feb 9 : Tuesday is not going to be anything short of a thriller for Delhiites with the final results of the assembly polls being declared after a short but aggressive campaigning by all the political parties. Counting of votes would begin at 8 am on Tuesday and final results are likely to become clear by 1 pm. The atmosphere at the Kashmere Gate headquarter of the Delhi Electoral Office on Sunday was, however, languid with officials taking in a brief breather even as preparations for the counting is already underway. On Tuesday, the counting process would begin at 14 different counting centres spread across the city. The counting of data stored in the 20,000 EVMs, which were deployed at 12,177 polling stations, however, would start only after 8.30 am. Counting of postal ballots would begin first at separate tables. ?PTI
