Paragraph 146
 

146.  In Article 114 (1) the second bullet point on opening the ballot box should be moved down to after counting the signatures in the voters’ list. If the count of voters according to the voters’ lists is performed and recorded in the protocol before the ballot box is opened, it is more difficult to be creative in reconciling the figures to make them match, and less tempting to perform any kind of ballot stuffing.
