Capture
Authorised field agents submit structured polling-unit figures against their assigned polling unit and contest.
Evidence-led election observation
From polling-unit evidence to transparent verified results.
ADC ERCIP is the Election Results Collation, Integrity & Protection platform for collecting, reviewing and observing election results through a governed evidence chain.

How ERCIP works
A controlled chain from field submission to observed collation.
ERCIP separates evidence capture, machine assistance, human confirmation, review and verification so no single automated step becomes the authority for a result.
Evidence
The corresponding EC8A is attached through controlled storage and recorded with its SHA-256 fingerprint.
Review
OCR can assist reviewers, but human confirmation is mandatory before the result can progress to verification.
Verify
Governed review gates determine whether a current result version reaches VERIFIED status.
Observe
Observed collation uses only current verified versions and excludes superseded or unverified submissions.
Audit
Submission, evidence, review, verification and operational actions remain traceable through the audit trail.
Observed verified results
Public data is deliberately narrow.
The public boundary exposes current ERCIP-verified results only. Private workforce information, EC8A storage metadata, OCR internals and operational security data remain protected.

Public verification
Check a specific polling-unit result.
Use the public verification surface to confirm whether a contest and polling-unit combination has a current ERCIP-verified result.
Integrity by design
What the public can trust ERCIP to say — and what it does not claim.
ERCIP presents observed, verified records from its own governed workflow. It does not replace the statutory election authority and does not present its observed collation as an official declaration.
1
Source evidence stays attached to the result lifecycle.Evidence integrity is checked before governed review.
2
Automation is advisory.OCR never becomes the authoritative election result.
3
Corrections are versioned.Public surfaces use the current verified version and exclude superseded records.
4
Unknown means unknown.Missing voter figures, coordinates or coverage are not silently presented as zero.
