He said: "We identified a discrepancy during the formal checking of the totals.
"An accountancy check and a visual check were carried out but did not resolve the issue.

Candidates, including the SNP's Drew Hendry, who has represented the area since 2015, have been asked to return to the counting centre in Dingwall at 10.30pm on Saturday.
