All ballot boxes are to be carried to the counting center from each polling station after the close of voting. When they are arrived at the center, counting workers open, arrange, sort and count ballots under the supervision of counting observers and electoral officers. As the counting is finished, commissioners review tabulations and the chairperson of EC announces results. Finally, the results are reported to the upper EC.
