Once the polling stations close, a sign will be placed on the ballot boxes, and EC officers will verify the number of received ballots, matching them with the number of voters. Ballot counting will be conducted openly, and the results will be announced at each polling station. All polling station officers will send the results to their district EC offices, which will authenticate the results and tally votes from all polling stations under their jurisdiction. The provincial EC office will then compile the official election results and send them to the main EC office.
