The Multi-National Observer Group has released its final report on the 2022 General Election.

It says this to strengthen verification protocols.

During the counting on election night, a glitch was experienced that affected data entry and caused the system to be down for several hours before it came back online.

The MOG also recommends a review of policies and methods of communicating important election information, including provisional and final results.
