34. Publication of result and statement of poll in Gazette

After declaring the result under section 32(8)(a) or (8D)(a) and counting of all votes cast by overseas electors or after declaring the result under section 36E(1)(b) (as the case may be), the Returning Officer must immediately compile a statement of the poll in the prescribed form and must cause the statement and the name of the person elected to the office of President to be published in the Gazette.

Despite the provisions of this Act, if the candidate who has been declared elected to the office of President under section 15 or 32 dies before the commencement of his or her term of office, the Prime Minister must immediately issue a fresh writ under section 6 and the provisions of this Act apply, with the necessary modifications, to that writ.
