- Postal ballot and other boxes are returned from polling stations to the auditorium.
- Staff verify the number of ballot papers matches the number of papers issued. The returning officer then issues a statement showing how many ballot papers have been received against how many ballot papers were expected. Counting cannot begin until this has been completed.
- Counting then begins and ballot papers are sorted by candidates. The returning officer will share the provisional result with candidates at which point a recount can be requested.
The returning officer will then declare the number of votes cast for each candidate and announce the name of the successful candidate.
