Absence of voting at any polling station

1 - Voting may not take place at any polling station if its board of officers cannot be formed, if there is any tumult that causes the electoral operations there to be interrupted for more than three hours, or if there is a serious disaster in the parish on the day on which the elections are scheduled to be held or during the three preceding days.
2 - In the event that any of the situations provided for in the previous paragraph occurs, the following rules shall be applied in the following order :
a) If the result would be indifferent to the award of seats, there shall be no new voting;
b) Otherwise, new voting shall take place on the same day of the following week;
c) If it has proven impossible for the voting provided for in the previous paragraph to take place, the definitive count shall be made without taking the missing voting into account.
3 - The competence to recognise that it is definitively impossible for voting to take place, or to postpone it, pertains to the mayor.
4 - When new voting takes place, the members of the boards of officers may be appointed by the mayor.
