From my understanding on the counting of the ballots:
1) The ballots are transferred from the polling station to a central location. An urban location can about 20 minutes for the ballots to arrive. Whereas a remote location it can take hours for the ballots to arrive.
2) A team of ballots counters counts all the ballots for the riding.
3) Once they are finish counting the ballots, the election official announces the results beside the candidates.
4) The winning candidates makes make a brief speech.
5) This process can take hours
Are there any plans to change to the counting process, such they do in Canada. Where the votes are counted at the polling station, and then relay to the return officer and then relay them to the media. You can have riding results with 44 out of 125 polls reporting
