The ECC, meanwhile, called on the Supreme Court to expeditiously adjudicate all electoral related petitions, disputes, and grievances. In a related development, The Carter Center said the election process enhanced the growing role of youth, providing them with opportunities to observe and engage through civil society organizations involved in the election process. Given this, if there is a runoff, we recommend that the NEC offer polling precinct staff enhanced instruction on these issues before the second round. To this end, The Carter Center urged the NEC to release provisional results, including a clear indication of the counties and percentage of precincts reporting. She added that polling place-level results must be placed in an easily analyzable (machine-readable) format on the NEC website.
