Congo election observer saw major irregularities in vote count

An observer mission to Democratic Republic of Congo’s presidential election said on Tuesday it had witnessed 52 “major” irregularities in the 101 vote-counting centers it observed, including people tampering with results.

There are 179 counting centers currently tallying the vote across Congo.

The report from Congo-based SYMOCEL said 16 percent of vote counting centers it had observed relied on tallies transmitted by voting machines instead of hand-counted tallies as required by law.

It also said 92 percent of the vote-counting centers it had observed did not post vote tally sheets outside as required by law.
