Not exactly. Everything counted on election night gets recounted later. All the counts done on the night are basically unofficial counts for the media and the convenience of the politicians. They’re a little more official than that makes it sounds, but only a little.

@Zagorath I'm pretty sure that's incorrect. Afaik the sealed boxes of ballot papers are kept *in case* a recount is called for.
