The final count of ballots for the electoral divisions in St. Andrew East Rural from Monday's Local Government Election has been transferred to the Electoral Office of Jamaica's Head Office at 43 Duke Street.
The count will begin Wednesday at 10:00 a.m.
A statement from the Electoral Commission of Jamaica on Tuesday afternoon said the decision was made by Director of Elections Glasspole Brown.
Under Section 45(2A) of the Representation of the People Act, the Director of Elections may change the place selected for the final counting of ballots, if he or she is satisfied that it is expedient to change the place designated for the final count.
Meanwhile, the final count of ballots is underway at designated counting centres in the other 62 constituencies.
The Director of Elections says the process could last until Thursday.
