Ballot boxes shall be non-transparent.

The polling board shall check the ballot box in the presence of the voter who comes to the polling station first.

The result of that control shall be entered into the control sheet which shall be signed by all polling board members and the voter who came to the polling station first.

The control sheet shall be inserted into the ballot box, sealed in the presence of the first voter, and that shall be entered into the record of polling board work.

After the opening of the ballot box, the first thing to be checked shall be the presence of the control sheet inside. If there is no control sheet in the ballot box, the polling board shall be dissolved and a new one appointed, and voting shall be repeated at that polling station. The control sheet form shall be laid down by the State Election Commissions.
