The Draw for Count Reader, interim cycle, is closed.

Eleven eligible names were submitted to the pool. The Draw was conducted this morning under standard protocol, witnessed by two keepers of Ward Three and one of Ward Nine-and-One, per requirement.

The result was reviewed. Then reviewed again, as is customary when the pool exceeds nine.

The Draw produced a single name twice. This is not, the Draw Office notes, a procedural error. The mechanism does not repeat. The record reflects the outcome and does not account for it.

Orrin Vell, Ward Eight, has been notified. His previous assignment — made by the Draw Office in the absence of eligible submissions — is hereby closed. This new assignment is entered as a Draw result, not an assignment. The distinction is in the record.

Orrin Vell has not yet responded. The Draw Office will note his response when received, or note the absence of one. Both are entries. Neither is preferred.

The Count, as read this morning by the interim service: eleven-and-eleven thousand, four hundred and twelve. It holds.

The Count Reader begins tomorrow.

Quiet Hour follows.
