Hyderabad: The Jubilee Hills bypoll results advanced into the EVM stage on Friday after officials completed the postal ballot count. Soon after the tally closed, they began counting the Shaikpet division votes. Later, they planned to move to the Erragadda division. Meanwhile, the postal count gave the BRS a slight edge and, therefore, set early expectations for the remaining rounds.
Counting teams operated across 42 tables to quicken the process. They structured ten rounds to finalise the result, and each round would take nearly 40 minutes. Consequently, officials expected clarity by 10 a.m. and anticipated the outcome by 2 p.m. Throughout the hall, party agents tracked every movement to ensure a steady rhythm.
