When are ballots recounted?
Question:Under what conditions are ballots recounted?
Answer(s): c. Automatically (triggered) recounted under certain conditions
Comments: If the National Electoral Council declares the vote-counting procedure invalid, a recount is conducted. The Electoral Board may order that the number of votes of a ballot box be verified when: an act is rejected by the counting computer system due to numerical inconsistency of the results; the minutes of the polling station are not signed by the President and the Secretary; the copy of the counting minutes provided by the polling station does not coincide with the minutes computed.
