These stations will be staffed by polling officials who are trained by the National Elections Commission (NEC) to manage the voting process. The idea of puncturing the voting card “has the propensity to destroy the card and make it unreadable,” the National Elections Commission says. For a presidential candidate to be declared the winner, they must receive more than 50 percent of the vote. The National Elections Commission has 15 days after the day votes are cast to announce the election results. If the court sustains the election of a candidate, the Commission shall act to effectuate the mandate of the Court.
