Paragraph 78
 

Article 68(3) of the Code appears to vest courts with authority to introduce changes to final result protocols in case any mistakes are revealed. However, it is not clear what is meant by the sentence “…shall exclude the electoral contestant, who has been cast a smaller number of valid votes, replacing him/her with the electoral contestant who has been cast a greater number of valid votes on sequential division." This seems to be an overly generalised way of correcting every possible fault in a protocol.
