vote tabulation
Election results compilation
Vote tabulation is the process of counting votes in an election.
The term emphasizes the mechanical or systematic aspect of tallying—adding up totals, recording results, verifying counts.
Election officials completed vote tabulation by midnight.
Disputes over vote tabulation often focus on procedures, equipment, or human error rather than voter eligibility.
