Introduced in 2015 “to prevent speculation and misinformation”

Introduced in 2015, the sample count aims to “prevent speculation and misinformation from unofficial sources” while the counting process is underway.

From each polling station, a counting assistant grabs 100 ballot papers and counts the number of votes for each candidate or group of candidates, in the case of single member constituencies (SMC) and group representation constituencies (GRC) respectively.

The votes are then added up, and weightage is adjusted based on the number of votes cast at each polling station.

The sample count results from the last two elections have been relatively accurate.

In 2015, the error margins between the sample count results and the actual results fell between 1.21% and 4%.

 

The error margins were similar for the 2020 General Election, which fell between 1.15% and 3.46%.

Generally, the error margins are larger for SMCs compared to GRCs.
