Counting of Voters

Prior to the opening of the ballot box, all unused voting envelopes and ballot papers shall be removed from the polling table. The voting envelopes shall then be taken from the ballot box and counted unopened. At the same time, the number of voting endorsements in the voters' register and the number of polling cards collected shall be established. If no consensus is established even after repeated counting, this shall be minuted and, if possible, explained in the election record.
