Who has the authority to declare election results?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The Returning Officer

Correct answer: C, the Returning Officer. The counting process produces the vote totals, but an authorised election officer must formally announce the result according to the prescribed procedure. The Returning Officer supervises the constituency-level election process, receives the final counting figures, and declares which candidate has been elected. A candidate may win the highest number of valid votes, but cannot officially declare the result merely because he or she is a contestant. B is wrong because an individual voter casts a vote but has no official power to announce the constituency result. D is wrong because a political party president is not the statutory authority for declaring an election result. Memory cue: candidates contest, voters vote, but the Returning Officer officially declares.
