Regulation 49 Publication of voting information
In a contested election, the returning officer must give public notice of the information specified in paragraph (2) (“the information”), within one week following the declaration of the result of the count.
The information is—
the number of first and subsequent preferences for each candidate;
the numbers of ballot papers transferred and their transfer values at each stage of the count;
the number of votes credited to each candidate at each stage of the count;
the number of non-transferable ballot papers at each stage of the count; and
the number of rejected ballot papers under each head shown in the statement of rejected ballot papers.
Once public notice of the information has been given, the returning officer must as soon as reasonably practicable procure the destruction of any electronic data or other records retained under regulation 50(3) in a manner which ensures that their confidentiality is preserved.
