Section 241
 

(1) Appeals against the decision of a polling station commission determining the polling district results shall lie only together with an appeal against the decision of the election commission determining the election results.
(2) Appeals against the decision of the election commission determining the election results may be submitted with reference to
a) the illegality of the decision by the polling station commission in determining the polling district results; or
b) a violation of the rules of tallying polling district results and determining the election results.
(3) If an appeal submitted pursuant to (2) a) can only be adjudged based on a recount of the votes, the election commission adjudging the appeal or the court adjudging the request for judicial review shall recount the votes. If votes are recounted, the term available for adjudging the appeal or the request for judicial review shall be extended to six days, and the election commission or the court may use the contribution of the members of election offices.
(4) After the polling station commission has determined the polling district results, the votes may only be recounted pursuant to (3).
