opened, the polling station commission shall decide on the
validity of those ballot papers which were in the ballot
envelopes with several ballot papers, torn ballot papers and
ballot papers of another district.
(2) If a ballot envelope contains several absolutely identical
ballot papers, one of them shall be deemed to be valid and added
to the valid ballot papers for counting, but others shall be
deemed to be invalid.
(3) Ballot envelopes containing torn ballot papers, as well as
empty ballot envelopes shall be deemed to be ballot envelopes
without valid ballot papers.
(4) If a ballot envelope contains more than one ballot paper
and these ballot papers are not identical as concerns their
content (also as concerns the marks made), it shall be deemed to
be an envelope without a valid ballot paper.
(5) Differences of opinion regarding the validity of ballot
papers shall be resolved by the polling station commission by
majority vote. In case of a tied vote, the chairperson of the
commission shall have the deciding vote.
(6) Valid ballot papers shall be grouped according to the
