To find out why general elections results there are announced the same day voters make their choice on paper ballots. Despite having many times more votes to count which are spread over a land area of almost 10 million square kilometres. About 14 million in the last 3 elections if you want to know.
The election process is certainly the last place we want to show off our environmental zeal.
There is absolutely no reason why counting should not be done on the same day. What is simply lacking is the will to do it and a litle bit of imagination. By the way is the PBB applicable to all those independent public bodies entrusted with important democratic functions?
