“The Statistics Office produced an application for PECs to be able to process election results electronically at polling station level and send the results directly or through a data carrier to the DEC for tabulation; according to the Statistics Office, 2,344 out of 5,992 PECs did so. The municipalities had to provide the required equipment but were not always technically prepared.”
