Paragraph 71
 

Article 83 refers to a particular reconciliation exercise which the PEC must undertake as part of the vote count. It provides that the PEC can recount the ballots if the numbers do not tally. The OSCE/ODIHR and the Venice Commission have previously raised the issue of whether this text should state that the PEC must conduct a recount and that it may conduct more than one in order to reconcile the numbers. Article 83 should be considered again.
