Article 88
 

Counting the votes received by the candidates The votes received by the candidates are counted in such a way that the number of votes given to the candidates of the parties of an electoral alliance shall be counted to the said electoral alliance, the votes given to a candidate of a party that is not a member of an electoral alliance shall be counted to the said party and the votes of the candidates of a constituency association in a joint list shall be counted to the said joint list. If it becomes clear that the candidate is ineligible or is deceased or has also been nominated as a candidate in European Parliamentary elections in the same election in other member states of the European union, the votes received by that candidate shall, however, be counted to the electoral alliance or to the party or to the joint list to which the candidate belongs.
