In those circumstances even if the failure by the presiding officer to sign the same is condemned as unconstitutiona l yet the polling agents‟ signatures, the public glare of the count and declaration of the results in question, the provision of copies of the same to the polling agents and their sustenance at the constituency‟s collation centre and all the way to the strong room of the 2nd respondent (the Electoral Commission)
