Paragraph 105
 

XI. Counting and tabulation of results


B. Counting procedure


3. Miscast ballots









The Venice Commission and OSCE/ODIHR recommend that the Code expressly addresses the problem of ballots cast in the wrong box. Also, a clear procedure for the reconciliation and inclusion of miscast ballots in the results should be established. For example, such ballots could be placed in a separate pile on the counting table and be counted after completion of the count of all ballot boxes from a voting centre.
