Article 76 of the draft law contains very detailed rules on the printing and distribution of ballot papers, which are intended to protect the security of the ballot, ensure that all ballots are accounted for from one stage of the election process to the next, and deter abuse. Such provisions seem to have been carefully adopted to be both adequate and simply applied. Ballot papers are transported in the protection of an employee of the Ministry of Interior and a clear chain of custody is determined through the creation of “ballot-acceptance delivery” documents, the transparent publication of such documents, and signing of security seals in each location where ballots are housed.
