Comment : | Central Counting: Counting of ballots in one or more locations selected by the election authority for the processing or counting, or both, of ballots The problem with this definition is that it doesn't distinguish Central Counting from Polling Place counting. One can literally read this definition to mean Polling Place Counting. We suggest the following: Central Counting: Counting of ballots in one or more locations, other than the polling place, selected by the election authority for the processing or counting, or both, of ballots
