Counting places
141 Counting places
Each polling place in a district is a counting place unless the returning officer for the district declares, by written notice, that it is not a counting place.
The returning officer for a district may, by written notice, appoint as many places in the district, other than polling places, as counting places as the returning officer considers necessary.
A written notice made under subsection (1) or (2) must be published —
on the Commission website; and
in another manner approved by the Electoral Commissioner.
If a place referred to in section 90B(a) to (d) is a counting place under subsection (1) or (2), it may be used as a counting place free of charge.
The returning officer must appoint an assistant returning officer at each counting place to count, at the counting place, votes cast at 1 or more polling places.
This section does not limit section 134(3).
