The purpose of the computer processing of the voting protocols is to digitalize the data filled in by the section commissions and to calculate the final results, according to the Methodology for final results computation for every given election, as defined in the Election code.
All the information related to the electoral process is published online on the CEC website, including the numerical data, the scanned protocols of the commissions and the electronically signed files read by the voting machines. This guarantees the full transparency and traceability of the processes - from the initial inputs to the formation of the final results, including full machine-readable open data formats.
In 2023, Information Services has established and maintains a system for real-time video broadcasting and video recording after the end of the election day in the section election commissions during the counting of votes and the preparation of the protocol for the sections referred to in Art. 34 of the Electoral Code, as well as the technical provision of the software and hardware necessary for the activity. The video broadcasting is done through a special application developed by Information Services. Video recording after the end of the election day in the section election commissions is done on two levels: live video recording of the broadcasts stored in the cloud infrastructure and local video recording on each of the devices through which the video recording was done.
In 2026, Information Services implemented Election Map, which shows the geo-distribution of polling stations in the country and abroad. It presents the results in every voting location, along with video recordings. For the first time, a mobile application for Android and iOS was presented to assist the members of polling stations in correctly filling in the results in the protocol forms and exercising citizen control by voters.
In order to ensure transparency of the processes, a detailed visualization of the Methodology for determining the final results of the Electoral Code has been developed.
The work on the computer processing of election results has always been accepted without any remarks or objections by the CEC, as well as by all other participants in the electoral process.
