Valid completion

(1) An official ballot paper from any provincial constituency is considered as being filled out correctly when it shows with no doubt which party the voter wanted to vote for. This is the case when the voter makes a cross or any other sign with a ballpoint pen, coloured pencil, pencil or any similar writing instrument in one of the circles printed under the name of each party in a way that there can be no doubt that this is the party the voter wants to vote for.

(2) The official ballot paper is also filled out correctly when the voter indicates the party he or she is voting for by ticking off, underlining or showing in any other way the party he or she wants to vote for. The completed ballot paper is also valid when the respective voter has crossed off the names of all parties other than the one he or she wants to vote for or when he or she indicates clearly the name of at least one candidate from a party list (§ 79).
