LIVE Lok Sabha Elections Result 2019: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to become the premier once again with a massive victory against the opposition. Over 8,000 candidates were in the fray for 542 seats. As many as 67.11 per cent of the 90.99 crore electors had cast their vote in the seven-phase elections. This was the highest ever voter turnout in Indian parliamentarian elections. For the first time in a Lok Sabha election, results of voting machines will be matched with slips generated by paper trail machines. The exercise will take place in five polling stations per assembly segment which effectively means that out of nearly 10.3 lakh polling stations, the EVM-VVPAT matching will take place in 20,600 such stations. Out of 18 lakh registered voters, as many as 16.49 lakh had sent their postal ballots to their respective returning officers as on May 17. The exercise of counting postal ballots manually will take a couple of hours at least.
