Organisation of counting of votes of a polling district electoral committee

1. The chairs of each polling district electoral committee or their deputies shall organise and supervise the counting of votes in the district electoral committee. Their lawful instructions concerning the counting of votes shall be obligatory to all persons participating in the count of the votes.

2. The chair of the polling district electoral committee shall have the right to warn any person present in the polling station who interferes with the work of the committee, or to warn any members of the committee who fail to perform their duties properly. A notice of such a warning shall be entered in the vote counting record of the polling district. A person who has been warned yet fails to comply with the demands of the chair of the polling district electoral committee may be expelled from the polling station.

3. The chair of the polling district electoral committee must ensure that the tables on which the ballot papers will be counted contain no writing materials other than black graphite pencils and no documents other than the ballot papers being counted.
