About 70 UPDF soldiers under the command of the RDC Peter Rwakifari and the District Police Commander Tai Ramathan are currently deployed at the district tally centre.

Access to the center has been restricted to international and local observers, some diplomats and accredited international and local journalists, and officials from the Electoral Commission.
