Draft Article 76.6 of the Election Code provides that in the election precincts where there are no electronic ballot counters, the PEC will scan the ballot papers during the count. Further, the CEC is to upload these scanned ballots online, categorised by electoral precinct, no later than 10:00 on the third day after polling day. This measure enhances transparency for those polling stations that will not be using electronic counting. However, as highlighted below, transparency for the voting and counting process when using electronic means must be guaranteed and appropriate measures put in place. It should also be carefully considered whether the – rather long – three-day deadline for uploading the scanned ballots offers adequate time for stakeholders to effectively lodge potential post-election complaints in light of the established filing deadlines. Harmonisation of the provisions may be necessary.
