    "content": "(4) Pursuant to Rule 17 (6), a Member who accidentally spoils a ballot paper while voting is in progress shall, on surrendering the spoilt ballot paper to the Clerks-at-the- Table, be issued with a replacement by the presiding officer. Hon. Members, at the end of the voting exercise, that is after all Members present and desiring to vote have done so, the presiding officer shall open the ballot boxes and commence the counting and tallying process in the presence of two counting agents. In this regard and as required under Rule 18, the counting agents are the Chief Whips of the Majority and Minority parties. During the tallying and counting process, the House will remain suspended but any Member present in the House will be required to be seated. After the votes have been counted and the result of the election ascertained, I, as the returning officer, will announce the results of the voting exercise in the case of the National Assembly. The presiding officer will report this as required under Rule19 (a). Thereafter, I will also announce the results of the voting from the Senate. I will also announce the consolidated results to the House after adding up the results. I will cause a message to be transmitted to the Senate in respect of the results of the election conducted in the National Assembly."
