Section 68
 

Counting of Voters


Prior to the opening of the ballot box, all unused ballot papers shall be removed from the polling table. The ballot papers shall then be taken from the ballot box, unfolded and counted. At the same time, the number of voting endorsements in the voters’ register and the number of polling cards collected shall be established. If no consensus is established even after repeated counting, this shall be minuted and, if possible, explained in the election record.
