India is the largest democracy of the world. Considering vast geographical expanse and large size of electorate, carrying out free and fair election process in India is quite complex and challenging. With 814.5 million registered voters taking part, General Elections 2014 have proved to be the biggest election event in the history. Election Commission of India collaborated with National Informatics Centre for computerization of whole election process and on the counting day i.e. May 16th, 2014 real-time dissemination of election results was carried out through http://eciresults.nic.in, which was channelized from 989 Counting Centers.
