The PB shall then establish the number of control coupons separated from the ballot papers and place them into a separate envelope which is then being sealed.


Based on the extract from the voters’ register, the PB shall establish the number of the voters who have voted.


Upon the opening of the ballot box and checking of the control slip, valid and invalid ballot papers shall be separated.


Prior to the opening of the ballot box, the PB shall put on record the data referred to in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 of this Article.


The PB shall establish the number of invalid ballot papers, then the number of valid ballot papers, as well as the number of votes for each candidate list and shall put it on Record of the Work of the Polling Board.


The following ballot papers shall be deemed invalid: unmarked ballot paper, ballot paper marked in such a way that it is not clear which candidate list the voter has voted for, as well as the ballot paper in which more than one candidate list have been encircled.


If it is established that the number of ballot papers found in the ballot box is higher than the number of voters who have cast their vote registered in the excerpt from the voters’ register, or the number of ballot papers in the ballot box is higher than the number of control coupons, or if it is confirmed there are two or more control coupons with the same serial number or a serial number that does not belong to that particular polling station, the PB shall be dissolved and a new one shall be appointed, and the voting at that polling station shall be repeated. The election results at that polling station shall be established after the voting has been repeated.
