Lords, I'm not even sure the candidates would be allowed in the same building as the count, honestly. (Okay, from something I found, maybe they sometimes are -- but they have to stay behind the line with any other "general public"!)
Definitely a lot more involved than what I'd be used to. Okay, I gotta go search out our stuff... It's city-by-city here, at least. (Which means that someone trying to mess with the ballot machines would... probably have issues.)
55% optical scanners (with hand-counting of anything the machine barfs on), 45% hand-count. Hand-counts are generally 4-person teams, a moderator, and a clerk (hopefully!). Unclear ballots get voted on by the teams after the moderator explains the unclarity...
