The Returning Officer (RO) is responsible for verifying and counting the votes cast in the constituency.
ROs must make arrangements for counting the votes as soon as practicable after the close of poll. The RO will notify you of the exact time(s) and location(s).
While it is important that a count is timely, it is also important that the count produces an accurate result that everyone can have confidence in.
The RO or a deputy will issue instructions or an invitation with any requirements they have in place for attendance. This could include information about any additional security measures in place such as requiring attendees to show ID and undertake bag checks before being allowed entry, as well as information about the expected standards of behaviour for attendees. You should ensure these instructions are followed by yourself and anyone else attending with you. Failure to comply with these expectations, or any instructions issued by the RO, may result in your removal from the venue.
