  • Australia chiming in here. I’d encourage you to dive into how counting works over here.

    I’ve worked at poling places several times.

    We have ranked choice voting. Always have as far as I know.

    We definitely undertake a first count at the poling place. It is then send to a hub location and verified, then if close enough it is recounted.

    For many poling places there is a large clear majority so the ranked choices do not impact the outcome.

    For those that are close, there are many recounts with a significant amount of redundancy and scrutiny.

    I remember watching tutorial videos from the Australian Electoral Commission when I started, not sure if they are publicly available but they would be a great starting point for you!
