Additionally, 999 Statements of Recount were tabulated for the General elections and 1,015 were tabulated for Regional elections.
GECOM is working with twelve recount stations having added two more on Tuesday last to speed up the process. The Commission is seeking advice from the National COVID-19 Task Force (NCTF) to add two more stations in an effort to increase the pace of the recount.
The recount commenced on May 6 with a 25-day deadline which comes to an end of May 30; the Commission is yet to decide whether the deadline will be extended and for how long.
