Diagram 32 above shows that observers were not prevented from observing the counting process in 93.8% of the polling stations observed by CCJPZ. Observers were however prevented from observing the entire or part of the counting process in 5.08% of polling stations CCJPZ observed. It can be concluded from Diagram 32 that in general, the counting of 2018 Harmonized Elections was observed and witnessed by different observers. 5.3.6. Declaration of Results According to Section 66 of the Electoral Act on ― Determination and declaration of result of poll… after the number of votes received by each candidate as shown in each polling station return has been added together… the elections officer shall forthwith declare the candidate with greater 35 number of votes duly elected. CCJPZ observed whether the official results were clearly declared after counting. The following diagram summarizes the findings; Diagram 332: Illustrating whether official results were declared after counting As shown in Diagram 33 above, in 94.57% of the polling stations observed by CCJPZ, official election results were clearly declared. This means that the declaration of results at polling stations observed by CCJPZ was done clearly and according to the law. 5.3.7.
