Mechanism of counting votes

Collect ballot boxes from each polling place.

The counting manager checks the ballot box together with the counting witness.

The counting manager declares the start of counting and opens the ballot box at the counting start time announced in advance.

For counting votes, the number of votes is calculated for each candidate after mixing the votes on the opening stand.
The mix of votes is because it seeks to ensure the secrets of voting.

The counting manager checks the validity and invalidity of all votes together with the witness, and further divides the valid votes for each candidate.

When all counting work is completed, the counting manager creates a counting record after reading the number of votes of each candidate.

(Note 1) Winners are determined in descending order of the number of votes based on the results of counting votes, but if they do not reach a certain number of votes (statutory votes: different depending on the election), they will not be elected.

(Note 2) “Precise” reports on TV, radio, etc. on the day of the voting day are made independently by the media companies and are not issued by the Election Commission

The counting manager distinguishes between the validity and invalidity of the checked vote, seals it with the witness, and sends it to the Election Commission.
