English term or phrase: ballot reconciliation

reconciliation, reconcile の適訳が分からず悩んでいます。どなたかご教示お願いします。以下のコンテキストです。

Ballot accounting and reconciliation practices help ensure that the number of ballots cast matches the number of voters who have voted, and that no votes are lost. By checking the number of people who signed in at the poll books against totals reported by the voting machines, by double checking that all absentee votes were counted and every machine’s total included in the statewide tally, and by accounting for all votes used and unused, jurisdictions can catch the kinds of glitches and failures that have resulted in incorrect totals in several past elections.

こ他にも、requirements for processing vote counts twice, comparing counts, and reconciling differences というものがあり、この場合どう訳せばよいでしょうか。

よろしくお願いいたします。

投票総数の一致

Explanation:
ここでのballotは投票総数のことを指し、reconciliationとは一致とか調和させる、という意味があります。したがって、最初の原文を読むと、投票総数の計算と一致させる方法はによって投票総数が投票を行った投票者の数と一致することを保証するものである、ということを言っています。

投票総数(の)決定

Explanation:
I think that the word "reconciliation" and "reconcile" is about settling or resolving a situation. (In this case, the vote count.)
So, words that would apply are "決定”and ”解決。”
I believe that this is about the confirmation/final decision of the ballot count.

Here is an online definition of "reconcile."
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/reconcile
To settle or resolve.
