Article 89
 



After the voting has been finished, the Polling Board shall proceed to establish the election results in its polling station. The Polling Board determines the number of unused ballot papers and places them into a separate envelope which is then sealed.



The Polling Board shall then determine the number of control coupons separated from the ballot papers and place them into a separate envelope which is then sealed.



Based on the extract from the Register of electors, the Polling Board determines the number of electors who have voted.



When the ballot box is open, and after the control slip has been checked, valid ballot papers are separated from the invalid ones.



The data referred to in paragraphs 2,3 and 4 if this Article shall be entered into the Record by the Polling Board, prior to the opening of the ballot box.



The Polling Board states the number of invalid ballot papers, then the number of valid ballot papers, as well as the number of votes for each electoral list, and enters it into the Record.



The following shall be deemed invalid ballot papers: unmarked ballot papers, ballot papers marked in such a way that it is not clear which electoral list an elector has voted for, as well as the ballot paper in which more than one electoral list have been circled.



If it is determined that the number of ballot papers found in the ballot box is larger than the number of electors who have cast their vote, or if it is determined that the number of ballots in the ballot box is larger than the number of the control coupons, or if it is determined the existence of two or more control coupons with the same serial number, or a serial number not belonging to that polling station, the Polling Board shall be dissolved and a new one appointed, and polling at that polling station shall be repeated. The election results at that polling station shall be determined after the repeated polling.
