Civil society groups perform the following roles during general elections except

Civil society groups perform many important roles during general elections, but they do not typically count votes. The responsibility of counting votes falls to the electoral commission or other designated government agencies. Civil society groups, on the other hand, are often involved in promoting voter education, serving as watchdogs to ensure that the election process is fair and transparent, and stimulating participation through voter mobilization and other activities. By doing so, civil society groups help to ensure that elections are free and fair, and that citizens have confidence in the electoral process.
