The National Election Committee also announced that the votes are counted today, in 20 different locations simultaneously. The counting begins at 9 a.m. nationally, with the counting commissioners being trained for the first hour and the counting itself starting after that.
The first results will be available in the early afternoon, and a member of the OEVB will announce the final results in a live video on the official Facebook page of the Primaries, HVG reports.
