Just 2 hours after the polling stations close the TSE will have the election results. According to Elections Programs Coordinator Héctor Fernández, by 8 pm the TSE will have the provisional recount of 2500 polling stations.  This is sufficient to project the winner of the presidential race and the first place legislators. The data will arrive by fax, telephone, radio or will go directly to the TSE database.

They expect that by 3 pm on Monday, February 6th the actual ballots will have arrived by boat, car, bus, truck or even helicopter.  Each package will have a tracking number and a protocol for its transport.  There is also a toll free number for filing complaints about the polling process:  800-elector (353-2867)
