Greater safeguards need to be introduced to guarantee the accuracy of the aggregation process. Forms for closing and tallying should be simplified and polling staff should receive advanced training in handling the forms, handover of documents and data entry and these should be simplified as they are overly complex in design. The systems used should be thoroughly tested before any further elections and staff receive training in how to handle the equipment.
