Precinct-level results publication speed

The statute explicitly requires precinct-level (voting place) election results to be posted for public inspection no later than two hours after polls close, which far exceeds the 24-hour requirement specified in the criterion.

“No later than two hours after the polls are closed, the voting place election results as tabulated by the inspectors shall be posted by the inspectors for public inspection at a place in the county courthouse designated by the judge of probate.”

Arkansas Code § 7-5-701(a)(3)(A) and (C) explicitly require that precinct-level results be transmitted immediately after tabulation but no later than 24 hours after polls close on election night for all state and federal elections. The statute mandates this transmission through a specified election night reporting interface, satisfying the criterion for within-24-hour publication of precinct-level results.

Article 75 codifies an EXPLICIT 24-hour publication deadline: 'No later than 24 hours after the end of voting, based on the election results in the electoral precincts, received from district electoral commissions, the Central Electoral Commission shall summarise the results of elections of the National Assembly, Councils of Elders of Yerevan.' Ordinal level 5: within 24 hours.

“No later than 24 hours after the end of voting, based on the election results in”

Wis. Stat. § 7.60(1) codifies an explicit ELECTION-NIGHT publication mandate: 'On election night the county clerk shall keep the clerk's office open to receive reports from the ward inspectors and shall post all returns. On election night the clerk shall post all returns, by ward or reporting unit.' This satisfies the strictest level (within 24h — actually within hours of poll close).

“On election night the county clerk shall keep the clerk’s office open to receive reports from the ward inspectors and shall post all returns. On election night the clerk shall post all returns, by ward or reporting unit,”

Cal. Elec. Code § 15281 requires the precinct board to 'sign and post conspicuously on the outside of the polling place a copy of the result of the votes cast,' which must remain posted 'for at least 48 hours after the official time fixed for the closing of the polls.' This is precinct-level results posted publicly within hours of close — ordinal level 4 (within 48h).

“The copy shall remain posted for at least 48 hours after the official time fixed for the closing of the polls.”

The statute requires transmission of vote tabulation results to the Secretary of the State within 48 hours, which falls short of the 24-hour requirement for a score of 5. However, it exceeds the 1-week threshold and meets the 48-hour standard (score 4). The preliminary list must be transmitted by midnight on election day, but the duplicate list—which appears to be the official tabulation—has the 48-hour deadline.

“The moderator shall transmit such duplicate list to the Secretary of the State by electronic means as prescribed by the Secretary of the State not later than forty-eight hours after the close of the polls on election day.”

§ 48⁸(2) mandates correct, timely and complete disclosure of voting results; voting-district committees count immediately after polls close and the State Electoral Office enters results into the election information system immediately (§ 59¹(8)) — codified timely publication, mapping to the within-48h level.

“The publication of voting results must ensure the correct, timely and complete disclosure of the voting results received from the electronic voting system.”

§ 21-2-421 codifies posting of preliminary results 'not later than 10:00 P.M. following the close of the polls' (Election Integrity Act of 2021, SB 202). § 21-2-456 codifies posting on polling-place door immediately after vote ascertained. § 21-2-440 codifies poll-officer general-returns posting. Ordinal level 4: precinct-level results within ~3 hours of poll close — fastest in the corpus.

“As soon as possible but not later than 10:00 P.M. following the close of the polls on the day of a primary, election, or runoff, the election superintendent shall report to the Secretary of State and post in a prominent public place”

§ 85 has the Central Electoral Committee proclaim preliminary results to the mass media immediately as constituencies deliver their counts, and § 73 requires final referendum results in the Valstybės žinios within 4 days. Within 48 hours; level 4.

“Preliminary election results may be proclaimed only by the Central Electoral Committee”

The statute mandates submission of constituency-level results to the Central Electoral Commission within 48 hours of poll closure, meeting the 48-hour threshold in the scoring rule. However, the criterion specifically asks about publication of precinct-level (polling station) results within 24 hours, and this section does not require public publication within 24 hours—it only requires submission to the CEC within 48 hours, which falls short of the 24-hour public disclosure standard.

The statute requires forwarding election returns to the secretary of state by 8:00 a.m. the day after the election, which is approximately 24-32 hours depending on poll closing time. However, the section does not explicitly mandate public publication of precinct-level results within 24 hours; it addresses delivery to the secretary of state and public inspection at reasonable times at the local level, without specifying a timeline for public availability.

“One copy of the election return shall be forwarded by the town or ward clerk to the secretary of state in both paper and electronic form no later than 8:00 a.m. on the day following a state election”

§ 16.1-11-31 codifies that 'vote tabulation machines must print reports detailing the election results from the precinct after the close of the polls.' § 16.1-15-09 codifies certified zero-state + end-state reports. § 16.1-15-44 codifies Secretary of State publication of abstract. § 16.1-01-03 codifies that the election board generates the report of vote totals not later than 30 minutes after the last elector in line received a ballot. Ordinal level 4: precinct-level results available within minutes of poll close.

The statute requires that the unofficial count be transmitted to state officials by noon the day following the election, which is within 48 hours of poll close. However, the requirement applies to the county's compiled count, not explicitly to precinct-level results publication to the public, and it specifies transmission to state officials rather than public-facing publication.

Article 72 codifies that 'Commission shall provide for inspection the voting results for each electoral district, referendum district, the territory within the area of responsibility of the commission, referendum results within the scope of its powers...' — within 48 hours of receiving subordinate protocols per Article 69 chained timeline. Ordinal level 4: within 48 hours codified.

The statute requires county boards to canvass and transmit precinct-level vote statements by noon on the Saturday following the primary, which typically falls within 48 hours of poll closure (assuming polls close on Tuesday). However, this requirement applies only to primary elections, not general elections, and the exact timing can vary depending on when the primary falls relative to Saturday.

“The county board of canvassers for primaries shall make statements of the votes of the precincts of its county as the nature of the primary requires not later than twelve o'clock noon on the Saturday next following the primary and at that time transmit and certify to the Board of State Canvassers the results of its findings.”

§ 102.141 codifies precinct-level result canvassing duties. § 102.071 mandates posting tabulated results at the polls for public benefit. Strong codification, ordinal 3/5.

“The county canvassing board shall be composed of the supervisor of elections; a county court judge, who shall act as chair; and the chair of the board of county commissioners.”

The statute requires precinct-level (commune-level) results to be made public immediately upon completion of the vote count, which is stronger than a one-week requirement but does not specify an explicit 24-hour timeline. The phrase 'dès l'achèvement' (as soon as counting is finished) suggests rapid publication but the actual time frame depends on when counting ends, which could vary by location.

“les résultats du scrutin sont rendus publics dès l'achèvement du dépouillement”

KRS 117.275 codifies precinct-level counting and reporting: votes are counted and tabulated at the precinct on election night, the equipment is locked and sealed, return sheets are transmitted, and the county board distributes a 'precinct-by-precinct summary of results.' Authorized representatives of candidates and the news media witness the count. Precinct-level results are produced and distributed promptly, though without an explicit 24-hour publication deadline (ordinal 3/5).

The section requires posting of unofficial precinct-level results 'as soon as practicable,' which mandates public availability at the precinct but uses vague timing language rather than a specific 24-hour deadline. The requirement falls between a 48-hour mandate and 1-week publication timeframe, suggesting a score of 3.

“As soon as practicable after the election return is prepared under section 711 , if a secure place is available at the voting place or municipal office where the public may view a paper copy of the unofficial election results even when the voting place or municipal office is closed, an election official shall post a paper copy of the unofficial results of the election.”

§ 204B.275 codifies the Election Reporting System — 'the computerized central statewide database… [that] facilitates the collection, aggregation, reporting, and secure sharing of unofficial election results to the public.' § 206.85 codifies counting-center duties. § 204C.28 codifies election-night public inspection of returns. § 204C.33 codifies the county canvass within 3-8 days. Ordinal level 3: precinct-level unofficial results posted on election night via the statewide reporting system.

“"Election reporting system" means the computerized central statewide database for offices, candidates, ballot questions, and unofficial results developed and maintained by the secretary of state. The system facilitates the collection, aggregation, reporting, and secure sharing of unofficial election results to the public.”

The statute requires the central election bureau to publish its results (proces-verbaal) electronically 'without delay' (onverwijld), which mandates prompt publication but does not specify a precise timeframe such as 24 hours or 48 hours. The term 'onverwijld' is less specific than the scoring rule's discrete time benchmarks, suggesting urgency but falling short of explicit 24-hour or 48-hour requirements.

“Het centraal stembureau maakt zijn proces-verbaal, met weglating van de ondertekening, onverwijld op een algemeen toegankelijke wijze elektronisch openbaar.”

§ 12-20-13 codifies that 'the county auditor shall tabulate election returns as rapidly as received and make the result available for the information of the public' and shall enter into central state computer immediately following tabulation of each precinct. § 12-17B-13 codifies that tabulating returns are immediately public. § 12-20-10 codifies blank-list precinct reports. § 12-20-21.1 codifies impassable-road procedure. Ordinal level 3: precinct-level results within hours of count completion.

“the county auditor shall tabulate election returns as rapidly as received and make the result available for the information of the public”

14 kap. 25 § codifies result publication on the agency's website following mandate distribution. 11 kap. 1 § codifies that polling-station counts are published immediately after polls close (preliminary results). 12 kap. 1 § codifies municipal commission counting on Wednesday after election day. 14 kap. 26 § codifies parallel for county-level publication. 4 kap. 26 § codifies notice publication in Post- och Inrikes Tidningar. Ordinal level 3: preliminary precinct results available within hours of poll close (under 11 kap. 1 § 'omedelbart efter' = immediately after).

“valresultatet kungöras genom att det anslås på myndighetens fysiska anslagstavla och publiceras på myndighetens webbplats. Därmed är valet avslutat.”

§ 2588 codifies prompt precinct/town-level result publication: as the count is completed the presiding officer announces results publicly and posts the tabulator tape ('Unofficial incomplete results'), and 'the town clerk shall report as soon as practicable on the day of the election the unofficial vote counts of all candidates ... to the Secretary of State' via the online elections reporting system. Election-night result reporting codified (ordinal 3/5).

“The town clerk shall report as soon as practicable on the day of the election the unofficial vote counts of all candidates whose names appeared on the ballot to the Secretary of State.”

The section requires that vote tallies and elected names be disseminated electronically and publicly proclaimed, which supports transparency. However, it does not specify any time limit (24 hours, 48 hours, or 1 week) for publication, only that results must be made public. Without an explicit timeline requirement, the criterion cannot be fully satisfied.

“Le résultat du recensement général des votes et les noms des élus sont diffusés de manière électronique et sont proclamés publiquement.”

§ 70 codifies that 'the chair of valgstyrere shall immediately notify the chair of the valgbestyrelse of the result.' § 102 codifies Ministry publication of referendum results in Statstidende. § 21 codifies pre-election notice. § 10 codifies mandate-distribution publication. § 95 codifies parallel for referendums. Ordinal level 2: precinct results available within hours of count completion; formal publication via Statstidende.

§ 181 codifies that the Helsinki constituency committee 'must IMMEDIATELY notify the Ministry of Justice of the election result' and issue a public announcement. § 80 codifies that committees publicly communicate the preliminary-count results (on election night). § 94 / § 95 codify result confirmation on the 3rd day. Ordinal level 2: preliminary precinct results communicated on election night, formal confirmation within 3 days.

“Helsingin vaalipiirilautakunnan on heti ilmoitettava oikeusministeriölle vaalien tulos”

Article 76(1) codifies CEC summarisation 'not later than the 19th day after polling.' Article 14 codifies CEC continuous-publication duties. § 122 implies preliminary results before final summarisation. Score ordinal level 2: within 1 week is not strictly met (19 days), but preliminary precinct-level posting under Article 34 + Article 76 chain happens earlier.

The statute requires that by the day after the election, the polling station leader must bundle ballots and send them to the electoral board. However, the section addresses transmission of physical materials to the electoral board rather than explicit publication of precinct-level results to the public. The requirement to transmit results by the next day suggests a timeline potentially within 24-48 hours, but the statute does not explicitly mandate public publication within a specific timeframe.

“Senest dagen efter valget sammenbinder afstemningslederen de afgivne stemmesedler”

The section establishes publication timelines for election results (10 days for presidential/parliamentary results, 7 days for maslikhat deputies), but these apply to overall results by commissions rather than precinct-level results. The criterion specifically asks about precinct-level (polling station) results within 24 hours, which is a narrower requirement than what the statute addresses. The statute does require data presentation 'by electoral districts' but does not mandate 24-hour publication of precinct-level results.

§ 48 of the EP Election Law and § 49 of the Saeima Election Law require the full per-polling-station results to be compiled and published (on the CEC website / freely in State libraries), and § 25 of the Election Commissions Law makes results publication a commission duty; the detailed precinct publication is codified at three to six months, with no fast 24–48-hour statutory deadline.

“published on the website of the Central Election Commission.”

The statute requires parish boards to compile election returns showing machine votes broken down by precinct and file them with the clerk of court by the fifth day after the election. However, this is a filing requirement, not a publication requirement, and the fifth-day deadline exceeds the 24-hour standard. The tentative results announced by the secretary of state by the seventh day are at the parish level, not precinct level.

The section requires the electoral bureau president to immediately proclaim and publicly record results, which demonstrates a transparency commitment. However, 'immediately' and 'publicly' are vague terms that do not explicitly establish a specific timeframe (24 hours, 48 hours, etc.) as the criterion requires.

The statute requires publication of detailed election results subdivided by polling booth within seven days of the end of counting. This satisfies a requirement for precinct-level results publication, but the seven-day timeline falls short of the 24-hour requirement specified in the criterion. The statute does not mandate publication within 24 hours or 48 hours.

“The Commission shall publish in the Gazette not later than seven days after the end of counting a declaration of the result of the election”

The section requires the State Board to make precinct-level results available in electronic format, satisfying the transparency requirement. However, the statute does not specify a timeline for publication (within 24 hours, 48 hours, or any other deadline), so it cannot satisfy the 24-hour requirement. A one-week default assumption for general legal compliance yields a score of 2.

“the State Board shall make available in an electronic format a report of election results for each candidate or question voted on at the election: (i) by precinct”

The section establishes that preliminary results information must be timely, truthful, and public, and assigns responsibility to the electoral institute. However, it does not specify a concrete timeline (24 hours, 48 hours, or any fixed period) for precinct-level results publication. The term 'oportuna' (timely/opportune) is vague and does not meet the criterion's specific 24-hour requirement.

§ 13-15-113 requires a precinct-level reconciliation spreadsheet to be posted to the county election website no later than the county canvass meeting, which occurs within roughly a week of election day; unofficial results are available election night. Level 2: within one week.

“The spreadsheet must be posted to the county election website in a place accessible by all members of the public no later than when the board of county canvassers meets”

§ 9-126 codifies an unofficial tally of election results post-canvass (typically same-night/next-day). § 9-122 codifies immediate public oral proclamation of totals. § 15-140 codifies transmission to the NY voting and elections database following certification. Score level 2: precinct-level publication is fast (within hours of canvass close), but a strict statutory 24-hour deadline is not specified.

§ 21-8 codifies that before 21:00 on election day no information on election results may be published. § 11-6 / § 12-4 / § 13-4 codify announcement of protocols 'as soon as possible' after the canvass. Norwegian municipalities typically report precinct results within hours after 21:00. Ordinal level 2 — precinct results within the canvass-completion window after the statutorily-enforced 21:00 release time.

“Før klokken 21 på valgdagen er det ikke tillatt å”

Section 302(k) requires county boards to certify results to the Secretary of the Commonwealth, but the deadline is 'no later than the third Monday following' the election, which is approximately one week or longer—not within 24 hours. Subsection (l) requires public announcement of results by posting at the board's office, but no specific timeline is mandated for this posting. The statute addresses result publication but does not meet the 24-hour requirement.

The statute establishes a 24-hour deadline for completing the district-level count (apuramento distrital) by reconvening within 24 hours when elements are missing. However, this addresses completion of the counting process rather than legal publication of precinct-level results to the public. The requirement concerns internal procedural timelines for election officials, not a mandate for public release of precinct results within 24 hours of poll closure.

“o presidente nova reunião, dentro das 24 horas seguintes, para se concluírem os trabalhos”

§ 66.005 requires the general custodian to post a post-election reconciliation of votes cast and voters accepted on the county website; § 66.057 makes precinct returns public information once unofficially tabulated; § 127.201(e)(2) references 'the location that the county provides information on election returns and election results,' confirming county-website results posting. Results are published online, but no statutory 24-hour precinct-level publication deadline is codified (ordinal 2/5).

Art. III-187 codifies promulgation of MP election results no later than the 5th day after establishment of results, in two state newspapers + CEC website. Art. II-127 codifies CEC establishment of presidential results within 10 days (no later than the 3rd day after receipt of all district protocols). Art. IV-282 codifies local-election promulgation within 5 days. Ordinal level 2: precinct-level results are accessible within hours via posted commission protocols, with formal promulgation within 5-10 days.

“The Central Election Commission shall, no later than the fifth day of the day of establishing the results of the election, promulgate the results of the election of MPs in the newspapers Holos Ukrainy and Uriadovyy Courier, as well as publish them on its official website.”

The section establishes that precinct returns are public records, which supports transparency and access, but it does not specify a timeline for publication. The requirement to deliver returns to the canvassing board for verification suggests they will eventually be made public, but no 24-hour, 48-hour, or other specific timeframe is mandated in this statute. The public records designation likely subjects them to chapter 42.56's disclosure requirements, which typically allow a reasonable time frame but do not guarantee same-day or next-day publication.

“The precinct and cumulative returns of any primary or election are public records under chapter 42.56 RCW.”

ΠΔ 26/2012 Άρθρο 102 codifies election-annulment procedures with 1-month timeline for repeat voting following Άρθρο 100 Sύνταγμα ruling. Not a precinct-results-publication speed but contains general timing.
