c. Provincial command centre; and d. National Command Centre. At each of (a)-(c) centres, a new form is completed, signed for and displayed. It also appears that the Forms must be delivered physically before a final result at the next centre is announced. Electronic transmission of results in the Electoral Law (which several countries now provide for in their laws) may simplify the process of transmission of results and allow a presidential result to be declared directly from certified and verified polling station returns. As the whole country is a single constituency for the President, a ward or constituency or provincial aggregate of votes for the President should not delay the Presidential result as a candidate need not obtain a minimum number of votes in a given number of wards or constituencies to win. The Commission took all of this information into account in making its recommendations on electoral reforms. 23 23
