Article 38
 

After Article 79, a new Article 79.a is added and reads:


"Article 79.a


If a voter encircles only the ordinal number of the name of the slate, and does not cast a preferred vote to a particular candidate, the ballot is valid.


If a voter encircles the ordinal number for one slate, and gives a preferred vote to a candidate from a slate different than his vote for the slate, the ballot is valid, while the preferred vote of the candidate shall not be accepted.


If a voter casts his preferred vote to two or more candidates on a single slate, the ballot shall be valid in relation to the vote for the slate, regardless of whether the ordinal number next to the slate is encircled or not, while the preferred votes for candidates shall not be accepted.


If a voter casts his preferred vote to a candidate from a particular slate and does not encircle the ordinal number next to the slate concerned, the ballot shall be valid both in terms of the vote for the slate and in terms of the preferred vote for the candidate from the slate.


If a voter casts his preferred vote to candidates from different slates and encircles the ordinal number next to one of such slates, the ballot shall be valid in relation to the vote for the slate and for the preferred vote from such slate if the voter cast only one preferred vote to that slate."
