Thankfully, the election commission is working just fine at the time of writing this article. Due to the heavy load, it is not always working and has drawn criticism for this, too. We hope the authority improves its state soon, as it is one of the best ways to get the election result in Nepal.
Takeaway: Around 20 million citizens are going to vote in the election of 2082. It will have around 800,000 first-time voters. We need to thank the government for allowing online voting registration through NID for it as well. The voting begins at 07:00 AM and ends at 17:00 PM.
