Article 74
 

(1) Upon completion of voting, the polling board shall proceed to the establishment of the results of voting at the polling station.


(2) The polling board shall establish the number of unused ballot papers and put them in a special envelope which shall be sealed.


(3) Based on the excerpts from the electoral roll, the polling board shall establish the total number of voters who have casted their votes.


(4) When the ballot box is opened, after checking the control sheet, valid ballot papers shall be separated from the invalid ones.


(5) The board shall establish the number of invalid ballot papers and record it in the minutes, and shall then establish the number of valid ballot papers and the number of votes for each electoral list, and enter these in the minutes, too.


(6) An invalid ballot paper shall be deemed to be a ballot paper that is not filled in, the ballot paper filled out in a manner not allowing to determine for which electoral list the vote has been cast, and the ballot paper on which more than one list has been circled.


(7) If the name and surname of the first candidate on the electoral list has been circled on the ballot paper, or if the name or part of the electoral list name, or if both the ordinal number and the electoral list name and the name and surname of the first candidate have been circled, such ballot paper shall be considered valid.


(8) If it is found that the number of ballot papers in the ballot box exceeds the number of voters who have turned out for the vote, the polling board shall be dismissed, a new one appointed, and voting at that polling station shall be repeated.
