Examination of early ballots after the closing of a polling session.
When a polling session has been closed, the electoral commission shall again check, in the presence of the agents of the candidate lists, the early ballots that it has received and have not been retracted, cf. Article 77.
If the person whose ballot is under consideration is on the electoral register, is entitled to vote and did not vote during the polling session, the electoral commission shall put a mark against his or her name on the electoral register and place the ballot envelope unopened in the ballot box.
If the postal ballot is not accepted as valid, cf. Article 94, a mark shall be made on the envelope as prescribed in the first paragraph of Article 92. The electoral commission shall record the number of early ballots not accepted as valid.
If a voter who has sent an early ballot is not on the electoral register in the polling ward, the electoral commission shall note this specifically in the log book and send such postal ballots separately to the senior electoral commission.
