Ateb

No. The counting of votes must begin as soon as practicable after the close of polls. To determine when the counts will take place, Returning Officers must follow Electoral Commission guidance and any guidance or directions given by the Electoral Management Board for Wales. Returning Officers and the Electoral Management board are better positioned than national government to make decisions around the administration of elections.
