§ Section 40(untitled)

(1) Divide the ballot papers of each list
into two groups - changed and unchanged ballot papers. Changed
ballot papers shall be considered to be those on which the voter,
opposite the surname of a candidate in the place provided
therefor, has made a "+" mark or has struck out the given name or
surname of a candidate. Other ballot papers shall be considered
to be unchanged. The changed ballot papers shall be counted in
relation to each candidate in which:
1) alongside his or her surname in the place provided therefor
a mark "+" has been made;
2) his or her given name or surname has been struck out.
(2) The final results of the counting of votes shall be
entered by the polling station commission in the vote counting
report.
(3) Differences of opinion regarding the marks made by voters
on ballot papers shall be resolved by the polling station
commission by majority vote. In the case of a tied vote, the
chairperson of the polling station commission shall have the
deciding vote.
