Election results in the constituencies


In each constituency all the votes which each electoral list gets shall be counted, and then the number of votes for each list. Furthermore, the senior electoral commission shall calculate the number of votes for each candidate according to Article 110.


The Senior electoral commission shall immediately send to the National Electoral Commission a report concerning vote numbers. It shall indicate the number of voters on the electoral register, the number of votes cast for each electoral list, and the numbers of votes for each candidate. The National Electoral Commission provides the senior electoral commissions with the forms for these reports.


[If a package of ballots from one of the polling wards has not been received by the senior electoral commission or, as the case may be, from the regional electoral commission, at the time referred to in Article 97, the election official nonetheless opens the ballot box and other electoral materials at the pre-announced time.]1)The senior electoral commission shall, however, not send a report on numbers of votes to the National Electoral Commission pursuant to paragraph 2 until the votes from the missing package have been counted. The agents of the lists shall be informed, as far as is feasible, as to when the package will be opened in order to be able to attend.
