At the suggestion of Bernard Clerfayt, Brussels Minister of Local Authorities, additional measures were put in place. In a press release, he ensures that “training was given directly by the Elections department of the Brussels Regional Public Service to the presidents of the offices and secretaries of the offices in order to ensure the immediate and optimal transmission of information, with a particular focus on proxies.“A WhatsApp group was also created between office presidents and the Elections department to ensure rapid and uniform communication. Note that those who occupied these functions had already been trained in October.
Another measure, each polling station will be equipped with reserve technical equipment, and technicians will be available in less than 15 minutes in the event of a problem. Security tests were carried out on computers and the elections site to ensure their reliability.
Automatic recount
“In the event of a discrepancy of 10 units or more between the number of registered voters and the confirmed votes, a recount will be carried out immediately, concludes the press release from the outgoing minister. These actions aim to guarantee flawless elections, despite the particular context. The right to vote is a pillar of our democracy.
