Comparing Vote Counting Methods in US and Indian Elections
The United States and India use different methods for vote counting in elections. The US relies on paper ballots scanned and counted electronically across thousands of local centers, enabling results for millions of votes within hours despite a decentralized system and mail-in ballots. India uses Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and coordinated counting schedules, allowing broad election results in a single day even with a larger population. These contrasting approaches reflect differing administrative structures and technologies in managing large-scale democratic processes.
