Comment

In Spain, preliminary counting (public) takes place at every Electoral Board immediately after the close of polls (20:00 PM mainland time). The final counting (escrutinio general) is undertaken by the Electoral Commissions and published by the Central Electoral Commission in the Official Gazette.

In order to fulfil the Government’s obligation to disseminate the provisional electoral results on election day, the Ministry of the Interior opens a call for tenders for a service contract for the technology required for the transmission of the provisional electoral results from the Electoral Boards to the Data Dissemination National Centre (DDNC) of those results.

The Ministry of the Interior has been taking efforts to reduce costs and further enhance the efficiency of the results tabulation by a broad use of ICTs. Now, the Government’s representatives report the provisional results to the DDNC (Madrid) either via ‘tablets’, the Electronically Managed Electoral Board this notwithstanding some phone transmissions are still received.
