Article 97
 

§ 97 The rules of counting ballots and making out minutes shall be applied separately with regard to ballot papers of single mandate constituencies and ballot papers of regional lists.

§ 97/A (1) The parliamentary single mandate constituency election committee will place the inside envelopes set forth in Section § 73/A (4) that contain the foreign representation ballots, without opening them, into a transport envelope, on which the number of the envelopes placed into it shall be indicated. The transport envelope shall be authenticated by the members of the parliamentary single mandate constituency election committee by signing it, and by the head of the committee by affixing a stamp to it. The parliamentary single mandate constituency election committee shall record the number of the inside envelopes in separate minutes. The chairman of the parliamentary single mandate constituency election committee shall hand over the transport envelope and one copy of the minutes to the head of the ballot counting committee located at the seat of the parliamentary single mandate constituency, designated by the parliamentary single mandate constituency election committee.
(2) The ballot counting committee set forth in paragraph (1) will mix the envelopes that contain the ballot papers cast at foreign representations, without opening them, with the envelopes that contain the ballots cast at the electoral district.
(3) In the second round of the election, the ballot counting committee set forth in paragraph (1) will after closing voting seal the ballot-box in such fashion that no ballot-paper can be either put into or taken out of it. The ballot counting committee will hand over the ballot-box to the parliamentary single mandate constituency election committee, which arranges for its safe storage.
(4) In the second round of the elections, the parliamentary single mandate constituency election committee will the latest on the 6th day following voting in Hungary hand over the ballot-box and the envelopes that contain the ballot-papers set forth in Section § 73/A (4) to the ballot counting committee set forth in paragraph (1), which will immediately carry out the tasks determined in this §, and in Chapter IX, except for § 76.
