Are official election results processed by an electronic tabulation system?

Assessment of the Closing, Counting and Transmission

{…}

Polling officials recorded the counting on the tally sheets provided by the

Electoral Commission, although these were not displayed for the view of the public. The Group observed scrutineers keeping their own tallies to verify the results.

 Police remained at the polling stations for the duration of the count, and escorted presiding officers and ballot boxes to police stations or provincial headquarters to store the boxes overnight, prior to dispatch to Port Vila.

 While preliminary results were announced at each polling station, all ballot boxes were returned to Port Vila, where the Vanuatu Electoral Commission announced the results. Given the geographical terrain of Vanuatu, this caused some delay in the declaration of official results.
