Election results in the constituencies


A vote shall be considered invalid:



  1. if the ballot paper is blank,

  2. if it is not clear which list has been marked or if it is not perfectly clear if what is printed on the pre-election ballot paper does mean any of the lists that are put forth,

  3. if more than one letter of the alphabet has been marked, if the names of more than one list have been marked with numbers, or if more than one letter of the alphabet has been written on the pre-election ballot paper,

  4. if writing on the ballot paper exceeds what has been prescribed, or if strange markings have been put on the ballot paper that may be surmised as having been put there by intent in order to make the paper recognisable,

  5. if there is something other than one ballot paper,

  6. if the ballot paper is different from what the electoral commission or the election official has handed out lawfully.
