I am satisfied that the arrangements made with respect to the production, storage, distribution, return or other handling of the voting papers used in the ballot, and the arrangements for the counting of the votes, included all such security arrangements as were reasonably practicable for the purpose of minimising the risk that any unfairness or malpractice might occur.

I am satisfied that I have been able to carry out the functions conferred on me without any interference from the General Assembly or any of its members, officials or employees.
