Usage Note
Contabilizar means to record something in accounts or to tally a total count (se contabilizaron 200 votos = 200 votes were tallied). It is more formal than contar and specifically implies official recording. Like other verbs in -zar, it changes z→c before e: preterite contabilicé.
Examples
"El sistema contabilizó todas las transacciones del día."
Natural Translation
The system tallied all the transactions of the day.
