(1) When it is possible to ascertain that the information on the person is included in the electoral register and that no notation has already been made there regarding the participation of the person in the relevant elections, the polling station commission shall, without interfering with the voting process, verify this information in accordance with the separate electoral rolls, shall make a notation in the electoral register regarding the participation of the voter in the elections, and shall mark in the electoral rolls whether the vote of the person is countable.

(2) When a polling station commission opens ballot boxes once the elections are over, it shall sort the registration envelopes into two groups – valid and invalid envelopes. The registration envelope shall be invalid if:

1) the given name, surname, and personal identity number of the voter has not been indicated on it;

2) it has not been stamped with the seal of the relevant polling station commission;

3) the relevant person cannot be found in the electoral register;

4) the relevant person has the right to vote in another electoral district;

5) according to the information in the electoral register, the relevant person has already voted.

(3) The invalid registration envelopes shall be counted and packaged unopened. The polling station commission shall open the valid registration envelopes and count the votes as specified in Section 38, Paragraph five of this Law.
