7:30 am All arrangements are in place for today's counting of votes to decide the fate of the third Assembly polls in Jharkhand, where two previous ones threw up hung verdicts.
The updated 66.47 percent voter turnout in the 2014 polls was a record for both Lok Sabha and assembly elections held in the state since it was carved out of Bihar on 15 November, 2000.
This election will give the state, which has been dogged by political uncertainty since its birth, its tenth government in 14 years.
"All arrangements have been made for the counting at 24 centres across the state," an EC official said in Ranchi on Monday.
"The process will begin at 8 am," he added.
Chief Minister Hemant Soren (Dumka/Barhait) and ex chief ministers Arjun Munda (Kharsawan), Madhu Koda (Majhgaon) and Babulal Marandi (Dhanwar/Giridih) are among the total 1,136 candidates, including 111 women, whose fates will be known on Tuesday.
Other prominent candidates in the fray were Speaker Shashank Sekhar Bhokta (Sarath), ex-Speaker C P Singh (Ranchi) and all the ministers in the Hemant Soren cabinet, besides several sitting MLAs and ex-ministers.
