🗳️ #LGE2026 | YOU HAVE VOTED. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
With voting stations now closed, the counting process begins immediately at each voting station.
The Electoral Commission follows a transparent process to ensure every ballot is accounted for, verified and accurately counted. Political party agents and authorised persons are present during the process.
Once counting is complete, results are recorded, verified and transferred to the IEC Local Offices for further processing.
Before the results are officially released, they undergo an independent audit to verify their accuracy.
Every vote counts, and every ballot matters!
