If official election results processed by an electronic tabulation system, at which level results are entered into an electronic tabulation system?

Electoral Code (last amended in 2017)

Título VII, Capítulo V, Artículo 209: “…El acta original deberá ser entregada inmediatamente, sin objeción alguna, por el president de la junta receptora de votos a la persona designada por el Tribunal, quien la transmitirá por los medios idóneos que el Tribunal establezca, la cual deberá ser trasladada, físicamente al centro nacional de procesamiento de resultados electorales según la logística determinada para ello. El incumplimiento de lo anterior, siempre que no fuere caso fortuito o de fuerza mayor, será sancionado de conformidad a la ley…El Tribunal, al recibir la Información de las correspondientes actas de cierre y escrutinio de cada una de las juntas receptoras de votos, efectuará de inmediato el procesamiento informático de los votos válidos debidamente asignados a cada partido político, coalición y candidatos no partidarios contendientes, con el objeto de realizer un conteo rápido provisional de la elección”

At the 2012 and 2014 elections, the documents corresponding to the closing of the polling the table and the counting were transmitted using a secure internet connection. For that to take place, at least one Transmission Centre was installed inside each polling centre (but there were cases where because of the size of the Centre more than one TC was in place), where the documents were scanned, and then a secure communication was established with the National Centre for Processing the Results (NCPR). At the national level, 10,445 acts/certificates were processed at the NCPR by INDRA (a Spanish company contracted by the TSE), who delivered the tabulated results from the first certificate (which was received at 17:07, until the last one received around midnight).
