The commission determines with discretion the map of the polling stations. The number of voters per polling station must be between 100 and 2,000. The commission must ensure that all precautions for effective functioning of the polling stations have been taken. The chairman of the station and the authorized agents for the polling station must ensure that adequate measures are taken for the proper conduct of the election. When the elections are to last more than a day in a zone, the commission can authorize a chairman to oversee several stations(at the time). Each candidate can assign two agents per station in order to enhance the credibility of the elections. At the close of activities of the polling station the chairman first and foremost seals the ballot boxes before completing the first part of the election papers. The boxes are then taken under the supervision of the chairman and other agents and candidates' representatives to the collation centre. At this level each representative must confirm that the due process has so far been followed. Normally the commission ought to have published the list of the collation centres in the official newspaper before the elections and each candidate has the right to appoint a collation agent at each centre having submitted all the ballot boxes in the zone. 74
