The system of counting, aggregation and publication of votes should be faster, more rigorous and more transparent. This will be a key measure to avoid post-election conflict and controversy. To this end the following measures are recommended: (i) Training of election officials in counting, aggregation, publication, completion of forms etc., should be increased. (ii) Constituency election offices should immediately publish results received from polling stations. Subsequently votes should be re-counted to verify accuracy. Where results are not posted at polling stations, or not properly published at constituency levels, repolling should be considered.
