Odisha has implemented a three-tier security system at its strong rooms and counting centers to ensure safety and transparency during the election process.

In preparation for the vote counting on Tuesday, officials have implemented a three-tier security system at each strong room and counting venue across Odisha. As per official sources, this measure has been taken to ensure a smooth and efficient counting process.

It has been reported by the police that all Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) have been securely stored in strong rooms at 69 different locations across the state. These strong rooms are under constant surveillance through CCTV cameras and are being guarded by personnel from the Central Armed Police Forces. This has been done to maintain the integrity and safety of the EVMs.

The counting of votes will take place at 168 centers, with one center allocated for each of the 147 Assembly segments and the 21 Parliamentary constituencies in the state. This has been done in accordance with the guidelines provided by the Election Commission of India. The results for the simultaneous elections held in Odisha for 21 Lok Sabha seats and 147 Assembly seats will be announced on Tuesday. These elections were conducted in four phases between May 13 and June 1, with re-polling being held at two booths under the Kantamala Assembly segment in Boudh district on May 23.

To ensure the safety and security of the strong rooms and counting centers, 78 platoons of Central Armed Police Forces have been deployed as the first layer of security. Additionally, 78 platoons of Special Armed Force of Odisha Police and a sufficient number of police personnel from the respective district forces have been deployed as part of the second and third-tier security arrangements. This has been done to maintain a peaceful and flawless counting process.

In addition to this, extra platoons of Central Armed Police Forces have been deployed at the counting centers to further strengthen the security measures. These efforts have been taken to safeguard the democratic process and to ensure that the results are declared without any disruptions.
