My approximated guess of how live voting works.

Explanation of Live voting:

The live voting provides the result in form of % of positive votes which is calculated as ((positive votes)/(positive votes+ negative votes))*100

Display functionality: The voting system requires you to check in, meaning system is aware of maximum number of votes which can be expected. Let's take it as 100. So when people keep on voting, the display should most probably is only displaying the number of positive votes only. Like suppose 65 people vote positively, means the % cannot be less than 65 in even worse case scenario. Suppose nearing the end or at end, there are less than 35 negative votes, meaning thereby that final % will go up(people checked in but didn't vote at all)

So there is faster movement near the end moment based on number of negative votes or "not cast" votes are accounted for. There can be different approximation algorithm to predict it within limit and is subject to network latency and queue clearing at server end.

Thank you! Very well explained. I had figured that it's not based on the absolute number of positive votes. I was trying to figure out the denominator and the numerator. This is likely to be the format for Colors next show, Rising Star. Thanks again!

Also, this essentially is no indication of how the final vote would play out. Final voting is going to be based on actual numbers. My guess is Hina Khan would win that. Hina is likely to be the BB winner this year.
