“The first stage in the vote count process is the pre-count (preconteo de votos). Its purpose is to consolidate and announce the election results as quickly as possible after polling places close at 4 p.m. on Election Day. These results are purely informative and do not have legal value. Title 7 of the Electoral Code establishes that poll jurors must use E-14 forms to tally the ballots at each voting booth immediately after the polls close. As each voting booth finishes the precount, the information in the E-14 forms is transmitted via telephone to the National Civil Registry (RNEC) processing center by a designated collector. The processing center transcribes and digitalizes the provided information, later publishing status updates for the general pre-count process on the RNEC’s website.

Next, local scrutinizing commissions made up of judges, public notaries and registrars, which operate at the district, municipal and auxiliary levels, count and inspect the tallies at the voting centers. Law 1475 of 2011 requires these local scrutinizing commissions to be present at their respective sites at 3:30 p.m. on Election Day and to begin their work as soon as they receive the poll jurors’ electoral tally sheets. They also perform initial recounts for each voting booth when needed. Once the local scrutinizing commissions complete their counts, inspections and recounts, they deliver the scrutinized tally sheets to a representative of the RNEC to digitize. These forms are signed by poll jurors and published on the RNEC’s website so all candidates and citizens can track the results from each polling station in real time.”

Polling stations' data are sent directly to central processing center in a digitalized PDF forms. These are treated as preliminary results. Then local scrutinizing commissions, which operate at the district, municipal and auxiliary levels, count and inspect the tallies at the voting centers. Their results are more formal and delivered to a representative of the RNEC to digitize.
