Recount of Ballots



A recount of ballots takes place in a public facility of sufficient size to accommodate the ballot boxes from all voting centers of the electoral unit, the members of the LGEC or ZEC, and any accredited representatives of candidates or parties who wish to attend.



Only one representative for each electoral subject may attend the recount of ballots.



One representative designated by the CEC must take part in the recount of ballots.



The secretary of the commission, or in his absence a member authorised by the chairman of the respective commission, brings all ballot boxes and official records  of the election to the place of recount and assists the chairman and deputy chairman of the ZEC or LGEC in conducting the recount. 



The recount of the ballots begins at 800 hours and continues without interruption until completed.



At the conclusion of the recount,  the ZEC or LGEC, completes a tabulation of the recount of ballots in the form prescribed by the CEC and provide one copy each to the members of the respective commission, the representatives of the CEC, and each candidate or representative in attendance.



After the tabulation of the recount is complete, the LGEC or ZEC immediately declares the results of the election in the electoral unit.
