The presiding officer announces the results, and enters them into the official report of operations form, and completes the report. Two officials and candidate agents sign the report. Documents and all the used ballot papers are attached to the report. A copy of the report is posted outside the polling station, and copies of the report are sent to the designated CENI body and the HCC. Copies are also given to candidate agents and observers that request them.
The CENI is authorised to create structures to execute the checking and summation of the results. Party representatives and accredited observers may be present. After completion, the official in charge draws up an official report and send it, together with all documents, to the relevant CENI structure which publishes the provisional results and forwards it to the HCC. Thereafter the HCC has 45 days to verify the count and proclaim the final results.
