After the transmission and inventory of the Tamper Evident Envelopes (TEE), the identity of the counting reports is determined through barcode readers and inventoried on a database. From this point, all procedures foresee the use of an offline electronic platform (i.e. quality control and National ID verification). See Manual of votes tabulation for details.
