Get Live Vote Counting Updates on Your Mobile


Kathmandu — With the commencement of vote counting, citizens, supporters, and stakeholders across the country are eager to receive timely updates about the results from their respective areas. However, due to heavy traffic, websites often slow down, internet connections may become unstable, and television updates can be delayed.

Considering this situation, Aakash SMS has introduced a new service that allows users to receive live vote counting updates directly on their mobile phones via SMS.

Through this service, users can instantly obtain the latest vote counting status of their areas simply by sending a text message from their mobile phone, without requiring internet access, a smartphone, or any application. This service is expected to be particularly useful for citizens in remote areas with limited internet access, as well as for individuals who are traveling, working, or otherwise unable to watch television or access websites.

The process to use this service is very simple. Open the message box on your mobile phone, type EC followed by areas name and number, and send it to 31003. You will immediately receive the latest vote counting update for that constituency via SMS.

For example:

Type EC Kathmandu 1 and send it to 31003 to receive live vote counting updates for Kathmandu Constituency No. 1.

Since vote counting is a time-sensitive process, a large number of citizens often seek updates simultaneously, which commonly results in websites crashing or slowing down. In such situations, SMS-based services have emerged as a fast, reliable, and easily accessible alternative. As long as mobile network coverage is available, this service can be used even from a basic mobile phone, ensuring equal access to information for citizens nationwide.

According to Rajan Koirala, Vice President of Aakash SMS, this SMS-based service has been designed not merely as an alternative option, but as a fast, simple, and universally accessible communication medium. It can reliably deliver vote counting updates even to users without smartphones or internet access, and during times when online platforms experience heavy traffic.

Launched with the objective of delivering accurate information to citizens at the right time, this service is expected to establish itself as a user-friendly, simple, and effective communication channel. With this new feature, citizens no longer need to spend hours browsing the internet or waiting for websites to load. A simple SMS is now enough to receive live vote counting updates — presenting a practical and efficient digital solution for everyone.
