The Nashik Municipal Corporation has completed all preparations for the crucial vote counting process scheduled for Friday. Teams are now in position across the city to ensure a smooth and transparent operation.

Counting activities will commence at 10 am sharp on Friday. Election officials expect initial trends to become visible by noon, giving citizens their first indication of the results.
