Election Management Committee predicts that the newly elected president will be from 70-80% of the vote rate to 2:00 to 3:00 on the 10th, and many parties believe that the outline will appear around 11:00 on the 9th.
It is reported that the voting deadline for this general election has been extended from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm, and the ballot length has been extended from 15.6 cm in the previous session to 28.5 cm, resulting in the processing speed of the ballot classification machine slowing down, so the billing time has become longer than before.
In addition, some public opinion is worried that there is a possibility of cheating in the invoice issuance work. In order to enable the naked eye to confirm the votes, the Election Management Committee lowered the processing speed of the vote counting machine from 300 tickets per minute to 150 tickets. Relevant persons from the
Election Management Committee said that because the absentee turnout rate (about 26.1%) far exceeded expectations and the voting deadline was extended by 2 hours, various polls showed that voters were enthusiastic about voting, and the final turnout rate may exceed 80%.
