Counting in constituencies and municipalities.
The counting of votes in elections to the Althingi, presidential elections and referendums is
conducted at the responsibility of the senior electoral commission of the constituency. The
senior electoral commission of a constituency may decide that the vote counting may take
place not only where it is based but also at the premises of a regional electoral commission at
another location in the constituency. The counting of votes in municipal elections is the
responsibility of the senior electoral commission of the municipality.
Senior electoral commissions under paragraph 1 shall make public, with suitable notice
prior to the poll, where and when the counting of votes will take place.
The counting of votes must not begin until after 10 p.m. on the night of the polling day, cf.,
however, Article 99.
If a poll is postponed under Article 124, vote counting must in no case proceed until polls
have closed everywhere.
