Tabulation of Results
82. The Presidential Act (amended) 200513 outlines the various stages for tallying, announcement and transmission of the election results from the polling station to the national tally center. At the first instance, the counting of votes and declaration of the results takes place at each polling station after the close of polls. The results are then forwarded to the sub county headquarters for onward transmission to the District Tallying Center where officers tally and declare results of directly elected members of Parliament. The district level results are then transmitted to the national tally center for final tallying and declaration of final results. For the 2016 general elections, the EC used Electronic Results Transmission and Dissemination System (ETDS) to transmit results from the District Tally Centers to the National Tally Center.
