Article 159
 

After the decision of the office the suspicious and contested ballot papers are included into the categories they belong to.


The ballot papers or each category are sequentially counted by two members of the office.


The office establishes the total number of valid ballot papers, blank or spoiled ballot papers and for each of the lists the number of ballot papers in the four subcategories mentioned in article 156, § 1, 2nd para as well as the number of votes by name for each candidate.


All these numbers shall be listed in the protocol.


The ballot papers that have been declared spoiled or are contested apart from the blank ballots are signed by two members of the committee and by one witness.


All of the ballot papers that have been classified as mentioned above are put into separate envelopes and sealed.
