Article 73
 

Ballots cast in early voting.


Early voting shall be valid only if the requisite voting materials are used. 


Voting proceeds by the voter stamping or writing on the ballot paper the alphabet letter or name of the list that the voter wishes to elect. The voter may make alterations in accordance with paragraphs 2 and 3 of Article 85, but must in that case write the name of the candidate before indicating the order preferred on the list by the voter, or reject a candidate by crossing out his or her name. 


When elections to municipal councils are unrestricted, a voter casting an early ballot shall write on the ballot paper the full names and addresses of the regular and alternate council members whom the voter wishes to elect. The alternate members shall be listed in the order in which the voter wishes them to come in as replacements. 


A voter casting an early ballot in a presidential election shall stamp or write on the ballot paper the full name of the candidate for whom the voter wishes to vote from among those standing for election. However, a vote shall not be deemed invalid even if a given name or last name is missing if it is nonetheless clear to whom it refers.
