For the first time, residents of Sikkim capital Gangtok will watch a live telecast of poll results in the state May 16. That's the day when counting will take place at TNA auditorium.

The office of the chief electoral officer has tied up with local TV providers, Nayuma Cable, for an ambitious onscreen and live display of the counting process at Titanic Park here at MG Marg.

A big screen will be installed at Titanic Park. A similar live telecast of the counting process is also planned at the chief electoral office. Now everyone is hoping the weather gods will smile and there will be no rain during the telecast.
