e-Elections
Combined 2004 London Mayor, Assembly and EU Elections
When the Government announced that the elections for the London Mayor and Assembly would be combined with the European elections on June 10th 2004, e-Counting was the only viable option because of the sheer size and complexity of the count.
This election was of historic significance to both Oman and DRS. For Oman, it was the first time that all its citizens over the age of 21 were eligible to vote; for DRS, it was the first time that its e-counting technology had been used in a Middle Eastern election.
Complex ballot counting in Bosnia
The use of scannable ballots and e-Counting was a key feature in the success of the very complex 1998 elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
On the strength of the success of the complex London Mayoral & Assembly elections in 2000, the Hong Kong government had no hesitation of turning to DRS for help in managing its LEGCO elections.

This highly complex voting system supports multiple transferable voting using Optical Mark Reading technology.
“The e-counting equipment delivered a fast and accurate result in record time. If the election had been counted manually it would have taken up to eight hours. DRS delivered the results in around three. The system worked very well and in line with expectations.”

The automated vote counting of the London Assembly and Mayoral elections was one of the most complex logistical projects that DRS had ever managed. It was a huge success, delivering a clear and accurate result overnight – a complete demonstration of fast, accurate and time critical data capture.
