Sección IV, Capítulo XI, Artículo 120: Con las copias o los certificados a que se refiere el artículo 114 las Juntas Electorales realizarán las operaciones para la obtención del resultado de la votación en cada departamento y lo comunicarán a la Corte Electoral. Esta reglamentará los plazos y procedimientos que deberán seguirse para la remisión de estas comunicaciones.

Comment

Each polling station conducts scrutiny by hand and produces an electoral certificate that they provide to the departmental electoral office, which is then responsible for transmitting the results to the Electoral Court by inputting data into a central system to calculate results  (see Sección IV, Capítulo IV, Artículo 120 of the Elections Law). There have been pilot tests to install notebook computers at polling stations that would directly relay results to the central level via a secure VPN connection.
