Counting voters and voting slips

1 - Once the preliminary operation has been closed, the presiding officer of each polling station or section shall order that the number of those who have voted be determined by counting the notations that have been made in the electoral roll books.
2 - Once that count has been concluded, the presiding officer shall order that the urn be opened in order to check the number of voting slips that have entered it and, at the end of the count, shall replace them therein.
3 - In cases in which there is a discrepancy between the number of voters determined in accordance with paragraph (1) and the number of voting slips counted, the latter number shall prevail for counting purposes.
4 - The number of voting slips shall immediately be made public knowledge by means of a public notice, which shall be affixed to the main door of the polling station or section after first being read out loud by the presiding officer.
