Counting Logistics and Protocols
The administration has set up 14 dedicated tables at the counting centres to facilitate the processing of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). Because of the varying sizes of the electorates, the duration of the counting process may vary by constituency.
In accordance with election protocols, officials will prioritize the counting of postal ballots. Specific arrangements have been implemented across the district to ensure these ballots are handled first.
