Article 107
 

1. If the ballot paper, or at least one of the ballot papers, is marked outside the voting booth, the voter shall not be permitted to deposit the ballot paper(s) in the box.
The VCC Chair takes this ballot paper, writes "SPOILED" on its back and places it in the envelope “SPOILED BALLOT PAPERS”. In this case, the voter is provided with another ballot paper of the same type and the case is recorded in the VCC Meeting Record Book. If the voter marks the ballot paper outside the voting booth again, the second ballot paper is also placed in the envelope “SPOILED BALLOT PAPERS” and the voter shall not be given a ballot paper again.


2. If a voter marks or damages a ballot paper accidentally and requests a second ballot paper, the ballot paper is considered as spoiled and is placed into the envelope “SPOILED BALLOT PAPERS” and the voter is given a second ballot paper. The case is recorded in the VCC Meeting Record Book. If the voter again marks or damages the second ballot paper accidentally, the second ballot paper is also placed in the envelope “SPOILED BALLOT PAPERS” and the voter shall not be given another ballot paper.


3. Under no circumstances shall the spoiled ballot papers be placed into the ballot box.
