Procedures for the Recount
1. At the time and place fixed for the recount, the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the
ZEC or LGEC:
a) check that all ballot boxes and records are put in a visible place;
b) begin the recount from voting center number 1 and continue in consecutive order with
the recount of all ballots of all voting centers;
c) examine the ballot boxes one by one.
2. Before opening a ballot box, the chairman and deputy chairman check whether the seal
on the ballot box is the same seal that is recorded in the official records of the LGEC or
ZEC. If the seal is not the same, the box must not be opened.
3. After it is confirmed that the seal on the box is the same, the recount proceeds, in full
view of all those present and in the following order:
a) The secretary opens the box and removes the official records, tabulations and seal of
the VCC and checks that the materials are the proper documents for that voting
center;
b) The secretary removes the envelopes containing the ballots counted at the voting
center, the envelopes containing the invalid ballots and the envelopes containing the
ballots spoiled during the voting, as well as unused ballots and stubs;
c) The chairman and the deputy chairman confirm the information in the tabulations
regarding the the number of unused ballots, the last ballot stub number, the number of
spoiled ballots and the number of contested ballots. The chairman and deputy
chairman place those materials in the envelope designated for that purpose and enter
that information on the recount official record;
ç) Without inspecting the ballots, the chairman and deputy chairman open the envelopes
containing the ballots and place them in piles that correspond to the envelope from
which they were removed. The ballots contained in each envelope are counted and
the result is compared with the number recorded in the voting center tabulation. If
there is a discrepancy, the number of ballots found in the envelope during the recount
is considered the correct number;
d) After confirming the number of votes according to the tabulation of the voting center,
the chairman and deputy chairman continue with the examination of all ballots,
checking whether the ballot was sealed and signed according to article 91 of this
Code, and they declare for whom the ballot has been marked. During the recount, the
chairman and deputy chairman exercise the competencies of the VCC and may alter
the decision of the VCC as recorded in the official records;
dh) During the examination of a ballot that was contested by one or more members of
the VCC or one or more representatives, or was rejected by the VCC during the count,
the chairman and deputy chairman examine all the objections and comments
regarding that ballot paper as found in the official records. After making a decision
regarding the ballot in question, the chairman and deputy chairman explain the
respective reasons, which are recorded in the record of the recount proceedings;
e) After the examination of all ballots in the ballot box, the chairman and deputy
chairman declare the results of the voting center and complete the recount official
record for the voting center; they sign it, together with the secretary and place all
materials back in the ballot box, together with a copy of the recount official record;
they seal the ballot box, and begin the same procedure for the next voting center;
ë) Prior to sealing the ballot box according to letter “e” of this article, the chairman and
deputy chairman allow representatives of the electoral subjects, the candidates andmembers of the electoral commission to examine the official records concerning the
voting and take notes.
f) Following the recount of all ballots for the entire electoral unit and the completion of
the recount official record for each voting center, the chairman and deputy chairman
complete the recount tabulation, a copy of which is provided to all persons present.
4. In all cases when the chairman and deputy chairman fail to make a decision, the decision
is taken by a majority of votes of all members of the ZEC or LGEC, including the
chairman and deputy chairman.
5. The CEC drafts the forms that are used in this chapter.,

According to the Constitution, the Folketing (chamber 1)itself determines the validity of the election of its members. The Folketing is also the sole jidge in matters of eligibility. At a few elections, approval has only been given after extensive examination, including recounts by the Folketing committee of some of the votes. After the January 1984 election, for instance, all advance votes (about 120,000) were submitted to the committee for closer scrutiny and recounting. However, the recount altered neither the distribution of seats not the selection of candidates.
