This provision also states that the only way to express the voter’s will is marking the ballot paper with a specific "V" sign. This raises the issue of overregulation. According to Article 79 (2) of the Electoral Code of the Republic of Moldova, ballot papers are stamped, not filled in with a pen. “(2) The voter applies the stamp marked "voted" inside the circle of a single quadrangle of the ballot paper, which means that he/she voted for the corresponding electoral competitor or for one of the referendum options. The circles from other quadrangles must remain blank". Persons voting by post cannot use a special stamp which is available only at the polling station. This should not lead to excessive formalism and the ballot paper should be considered as valid if a mark with a pen makes it possible to determine the voter’s will.
