The CROs must verify the ballot papers received against the completed ballot paper accounts for all three elections within their constituency and draw up statements as to the result of the verification of each poll.1
The CROs must, as per agreed process in the protocol, inform the GLRO of the contents of their verification statements.
The GLRO must collate all the verification figures for the London-wide Assembly member and Mayor of London elections to produce a total number of the ballot papers going forward to the each separate count for the whole Greater London area.
The CROs will share the verification statements locally with the election agents.
