Longer tables, deeper pigeon holes and different boxes all deployed to accommodate 27 candidates

The extra length has caused a few logistical challenges for staff who have had to ensure the counting tables are ten inches longer than usual in order to fit the papers on. Shelving units will also have to be reconfigured and placed back to back in order to make deeper pigeon holes for the elongated papers, according to sources.
The electorate in the Midlands-North-West region stands at between 1.8 and two million people and depending on the turnout, the first count is not expected to to be announced until very late Monday night or early Tuesday morning.
