The Senate has passed a new proposal for Clause 60(3), permitting the presiding officer to transmit election results electronically from each polling unit once Form EC8A has been duly signed.
The amendment further provides that in cases where electronic transmission fails or becomes impossible due to communication challenges, Form EC8A will serve as the primary source of election results.
This development aims to strengthen the integrity and efficiency of the electoral process while ensuring a reliable backup in the event of technical difficulties.
More details shortly…
