Log: May 16 2017, 9:50 PM (+2 UTC) The vote counting has started but has been plagued by slow counting, especially in bigger metropolitan areas! It is difficult to collect any consistent data based on district election outcome but working on it.
Log: May 18 2017, 9:50 PM (+2 UTC) The vote counting has been completed for all seats in 7 districts only. Source: Pahilopost.
Log: May 30 2017, 9:50 PM (+2 UTC) Getting reliable online data of the election results was very difficult through the Election Commission of Nepal. But, the local newspapers have done a commendable job, espcially Kantipur with its tractable update. I am still working slowly to update the map. Hopefully, I will complete it soon :)
