There is no evidence of wrongdoing during the independence referendum count last week, according to officials.
Reacting to calls for a “re-vote counted by impartial international parties” in an online petition, the chief counting officer, Mary Pitcaithly, said all counts “were properly conducted and scrutinised”.
The claims of the www.change.org petition centre on videos circulated online.
A spokesman for Mary Pitcaithly said: “The chief counting officer is satisfied that all counts throughout Scotland were properly conducted and scrutinised by thousands of people representing both the Yes Scotland and the Better Together campaigns, as well as international election observers, media and police.
“None of these people raised any concerns during the verification, counting and adjudication stages.”
The video by a group calling itself Elite NWO Agenda claims to show a counter moving Yes votes on to a No pile while another clip shows a pile of Yes ballot papers sitting on a table marked No.
A third clip claims to show a vote counter filling out ballot papers himself.
The spokesman continued: “Each of the episodes in the video can be easily explained. However they are presented as a ‘conspiracy’ theory.
“It is most frustrating and does not recognise the immense work that so many people put into the planning and delivery of the count.
“The lady taking papers from one pile to another. I have no idea what is happening, where it is happening or even if it is part of this referendum.
“Clearly if looks like she has put some papers on a pile by mistake and is then putting them right. The video is looped so it is deceptive in its presentation.”
Responding to the second clip he said: “This was at the verification stage. The papers had not been split into Yes/No. They were briefly stored on the counted papers table. There is nothing to explain.”
Of the third he said: The count assistant in the video is doing what is a standard element of any count process.
“He has counted papers into bundles of 50 and those leftover are bundled together and a slip of paper is placed on the top of the bundle saying how many are in the bundle.
“The count assistant is writing a number on a slip of paper and putting it under the elastic band on the bundle. This happens at every count.”
Ten votes in Glasgow are being investigated over a separate claim of multiple voting.
