When the election call is sent out the assembly appoints a chief teller and
assistant teller. They are responsible for counting the ballots.
They report:total ballots cast, total ballots cast in person, total ballots
absentee, total number of invalid ballots, and the nine individuals elected
with the number of votes they received.
If there is a tit for the ninth seat, they report that.
Then whoever is in charge of the meeting asks the believers present to accept
the teller's report, and the individual with the most votes for the assembly
convenes the new assembly's first meeting where officers are elected.
Once the teller's report is accepted the teller's report is used to fill out
the election returns to national and it's all done.
Since there is no electioneering allowed, there are no individual candidates
to file petitions for re-counts and all that stuff. There are always two or
three tellers and they have to submit the report unanimously what room is there
for contention?

Scott,
Yes, I suppose that would be the best time to complain. I go back a
bit more than that and I too have never seen it, though I wish I had.
But if you were not at the elections themselves, would contacting the
assembly itself be the proper course of action? Would contacting a
counselor at the same time also be an approach?
Is the why the number of votes won by individual assembly members is
given at that time to the members of the community?
