II. Comments on the text of the draft law

J. Voting, counting and establishment of results

While Article 85.11 requires each PEC to prepare a security document showing the number of ballot papers taken by the PEC members responsible for homebound voting and the names of these members, there is no guideline on the number of ballots to be taken. This guidance should be provided. Ideally, this number should include all voters registered on the relevant “voter register extract” as well as a small specified number of spare ballots to allow for the possibility of spoilt ballots.
