HIBAPRESS – Casablanca
A polling station at Al-Amal School in the city of Berrechid witnessed a state of tension on Wednesday evening during the vote counting process, after a decision was made to cancel a number of ballot papers, according to local sources.
According to the available data, the cancellation included ballots that contained votes for the same candidate, which provoked the protest of the representative of the candidate concerned, who objected to the decision and protested to the head of the polling station.
The dispute caused a rise in tension within the station, at a time when representatives of a number of parties and candidates were following the counting process, with each side holding onto its position regarding the validity of the ballot papers in question.
The process of counting and tallying votes is continuing at the station and other polling stations in Berrechid, pending the completion of the approved procedures and the determination of the results according to the rules governing the electoral process.
