Counting and sorting of votes have commenced in polling units in Ekiti State governorship election after voting ended around 2:30 p.m. in most areas.

While the process was ongoing in most polling units, some have even concluded the counting of votes.

In Polling Unit 031, Ward 10 Ado J Okesa, located at All Souls Anglican Grammar School, New Iyin Road, Ado Ekiti, sorting and counting was concluded around 3:30 p.m.

In Polling Unit 012, Ward 10, Ado-Ekiti LGA, with 857 registered voters, only 259 voters got accredited and voted, voting was concluded at 2:30 p.m., and the results were being sorted out as of the time of filing the report.
