Actions in case of serious errors

If there are gross logical and computational errors (serious errors) in the result protocols, representatives of the polling board and the local electoral commission shall also inspect the election material when checking the result protocols.

Based on the report on checking the result protocols, the local electoral commission shall issue a decision to correct the result protocols, a decision establishing that voting results cannot be determined at a certain polling station, or a decision annulling voting ex officio.

Serious errors shall be, in particular, the following:

1) If the number of ballot papers in the ballot box recorded in the result protocols is greater than the number of voters who turned out;

2) If in the result protocols the sum of the number of votes won individually by each electoral list is not equal to the number of valid ballot papers, and the sum of the number of invalid ballot papers and the number of valid ballot papers is equal to the number of ballot papers in the ballot box;

3) If the sum of the number of invalid ballot papers and the number of votes won individually by each electoral list recorded in the result protocols is greater than the number of voters registered in the excerpt from the electoral roll;

4) If the number of valid ballot papers recorded in the result protocols is not equal to the sum of the number of votes won individually by each electoral list, and the sum of the number of invalid ballot papers and the number of votes won individually by each electoral list is equal to the number of ballot papers in the ballot box;

5) If the number of invalid ballot papers is not recorded in the result protocols, and the sum of the number of votes won individually by each electoral list is equal to or less than the number of ballot papers in the ballot box;

6) If the number of invalid ballot papers recorded in the result protocols is not equal to the difference between the number of ballot papers in the ballot box and the number of valid ballot papers, and the sum of the number of votes won individually by each electoral list is equal to or less than the number of ballot papers in the ballot box.
