“Data entry of the polling station result sheets and transmission to the National Tally Centre was done at the 197 Constituency Tally Centres (CTCs) established throughout the country, while at district level only manual aggregation of the presidential election results of the district was taking place. In each CTC, the result sheets were first scanned and then electronically captured through a double-blind data entry process. Automatic triggers established in the data system detected aggregation errors and would not allow submission in the system until correction. Furthermore, some 200 external auditors were recruited by UNDP to verify the data, one in each CTC, while an international team of six was positioned in the National Tally Centre.”
