Article 82
 

After the vote is completed the polling board shall begin determining the results of voting at the polling station.

The polling board shall determine the number of unused ballots and put those ballots in a special wrapper, which shall then be sealed.

Based on the excerpt from the voters’ register the polling board shall determine the number of voters that have voted.

When the ballot box is opened, and the control ballot checked the valid ballots shall be separated from the invalid.

The polling board shall determine the number of invalid ballots and enter the number in the minutes. The number of valid ballots shall then be determined, as well as the number of votes for each electoral list, which is then also entered in the minutes.

An invalid ballot shall be: a ballot that is not filled, a ballot that is filled in an ambiguous way so that it cannot be determined which electoral list the vote is for, or a ballot with more than one electoral list circled.

In the event of the name and surname of the first candidate on the electoral list being circled or the name of the electoral list being circled, or should the index number, the name of the electoral list and the name and surname of the first candidate be simultaneously circled, the ballot shall be considered valid.

Should the voting be conducted by mail, ballots without the suffrage certificate shall be considered invalid.

Should it be determined that the number of ballots is greater than the number of voters that voted, the polling board shall be dismissed and a new one nominated, and voting at that polling station shall be repeated. The results at that polling station shall be determined after the repeated voting.
