Have I correctly used 'in,' 'conduct,' 'was under the supervision of,' 'canvassing,' 'proclaimed,' and 'sworn in by' in the sentences?
Last month, citizens of the country where Abner works cast their votes in the national elections. The conduct of elections was under the supervision of their election commission. The casting of votes started at 8:30 a.m. and ended at 12 nn. The canvassing of votes lasted three hours, from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. The newly elected officials were proclaimed and sworn in by the election commissioner.
For comparison here's my version of the same text: Last month citizens of the country where Abner works cast their votes in a national election monitored by the electoral commission. Polls were open from 8:30 to 12 am, and ballots were counted from 1:30 to 4:30 pm. The newly elected officials were announced and sworn in by the electoral commissioner.
