Are official election results processed by an electronic tabulation system?
Liberia
At the end of the counting process election personnel packed up sensitive election materials in the TEE as stipulated by law. The presiding officer, escorted by security personnel, transported the material to the district tally centres. (Report by EISA Technical Assessment team and Election Observation Mission (The 23rd August 2011 Referendum, The 11th October 2011 Presidential, Senate and House of Representatives Election and the 8th November 20011 presidential Run-off Election) Liberia published in 2012).
The tally process is conducted at the magistrate offices for all polling places within their respective magisterial areas. Three Tamper-Evident Envelopes, TEE1, TEE2, and TEE3 (the last of which includes, among other items, the record of the Count forms for all three elections) and a brown envelope containing polling day complaint (if any) submitted by the voters or party or candidate agents are delivered to the magistrate office by the responsible Electoral Supervisor.

The tally commences as soon as TEEs are received. The Record of the Count forms are then copied for the party agents present so that they can follow the tally process when the numbers are read to the Data Entry Officer.
