A recheck is a normal procedure undertaken by Elections ACT before a preference count is conducted. All polling place figures and ballot papers are re-examined. Scrutineers are entitled to be present and should be aware of any corrected figures before a preference count is commenced (this term should not be confused with the term "recount"). This process is now undertaken by inputting all ballot papers into a computer system.
