Voting at the polling session
When the voting ends and the ballot envelopes that have been considered valid have been placed back in the ballot box, the president shall at the same time prepare a special envelope with all the ballot papers that are spoiled, cf. Article 87, and in another envelope all the pre-election ballot session votes that are disputed, cf. Article 92, and in the third envelope all the unused left-over papers. When the envelopes have been closed, all three of them shall be placed in the principal envelope, including the key to the ballot box, and the envelope is then closed. The envelopes that the senior electoral commission has sent for this purpose are to be used for this purpose.
Following this, when the entries in the election log book have been completed and the log book has been signed by the electoral commission and by the agents of the lists, if they are present, the president shall finish up everything: the ballot box, the postal envelope and the election log book or a copy from the log book which has been signed by the electoral commission and the agents from the lists, if they have been present, as well as the pre-election votes that are to be moved to another polling ward, cf. paragraph 4 of Article 90. These shall all be placed in a package that has to be sealed by the electoral commission, and the agents may place their seals on the packaging. The materials shall be addressed to the senior electoral commission [or, as the case may be, to the regional commission, cf. paragraph 1 of Article 97],1)and sent to them immediately in a secure manner. The senior commission [or the regional commission]1)shall acknowledge the receipt.
After the electoral commission has then arranged for the electoral materials, the sealed electoral materials and the electoral commission's seal may not be kept in the custody of the same individual.
