"After the counting process, presiding officers were responsible for transporting original signed statement of polls to the respective district or returning officers for tabulation. The CEOM notes that the tabulation process is still ongoing. The CEOM comments G-COM on the legal amendments made to enhance integrity of the tabulation process, particularly the provision for electronic transmission and the public display of statement of polls for verification."
"The CEOM is of the view that on election day voters were able to exercise their franchise in a peaceful and ordinary manner without significant incidents. The team observed no signs of intimidation, harassment, or campaigning intended to influence or obstruct the democratic process."
"Polling day staff performed their duties in a professional manner and are to be commended."
The 2 shows will take place on The 4th and 5th of September starting at 8:00PM. Tickets can be purchased at the Bliss Box Office.
