The results are recieved by the Returning Officer (RO) and scanned into the district server computer. Thereafter 2 tally clerks capture the results manually into 2 different computers connected to the server. The server will compare and show errors incase one of the clerks enters something different and thereafter it has to be corrected. The RO will approve results on the server indicating that what has been entered is matching with what was scanned. After approval the results are printed, displayed to the agents and transmitted to the National Tally Centre.
