Article 16
 

Election commissions and polling station commissions shall take decisions by a show of hands. It is regarded that a decision has been taken when a majority of the total number of commission members vote for it. In the case of a tie vote, the chairperson has the deciding vote. Any commission member who disagrees with the decision has the right to attach to the minutes a written statement explaining his/her individual opinion.
