When Will We Know?


Recommended Posts

polls close at the earliest at 10pm- remember queues can still be dealt with so there's a chance polling station might still be accepting votes until 10.20 say. You can't do anything until all ballot boxes are at the count in so a big queue anywhere in the region delays the count start.

Assuming a high turnout and a decent number of postals handed in on election day. I'd guess counting proper won't start until 12.30 or 1am so I'd be guessing nearer 4 or 5am for anything like a chance of an idea.

a found a document about a month back that estimated the final result would be declared around 9am.

This was based on the timings from the last few elections when the ballot boxes from some outlying islands werent counted until 7-8am.

Same document also suggested there would be no 'drip feed' of results from different areas. Nothing would be announced until the last vote was counted.

Please tell me that's a joke...

  • Each CO reports final totals to CCO
  • CCO checks that they match the previously reported turnout total
  • CCO authorises COs to announce local totals
  • CCO may also announce totals for the local areas
  • When all 32 totals have been confirmed and verified, CCO declares the National Result.

They'll get announced area by area, until we have all 32.

Cheers, easier to understand now. Will be a long stressful night.
