Chain of custody
Definition
The documented, unbroken record of who held ballots and equipment and when — what makes a later recount meaningful rather than merely a second count.

Tally sheet
The signed record of a polling station’s count — the primary document against which any later aggregate can be checked, and the first thing to secure.
Ballot reconciliation
Checking that ballots issued, returned, counted and spoiled sum correctly at each polling station — the most basic numerical control on a count.
Seal integrity
Tamper-evident seals on ballot boxes and equipment, with serial numbers logged at each transfer — a break in the seal log is a custody finding regardless of intent.
