After three phases of polling involving millions of people concluded last week, the counting of votes will begin in Bihar on Tuesday. The numbers will begin to roll in starting 8 am, and if the past few elections are anything to go by, we should know who is winning by early afternoon at the latest.
Coming less than a week after the US elections – which saw results trickle in slowly with a winner not being declared for nearly four whole days – the contrasts in the process of vote counting between the two countries have already been made. More than a few Indians took to Twitter advising the US to learn from India’s Election Commission, which usually is able to provide major results in a matter of hours.
Can the Election Commission of India give a crash course to the Americans on how to count votes fast?

They’re going to take days for something we do within hours!
But unlike them, we have EVMs...#USElections2020
A mature and vibrant democracy like India can always help Americans if they have anxiety about violence related to Elections or even peaceful transition of power. India could even loan our efficient election commissioners. https://t.co/1jzUYxQ2VI
