on the counterfoils of the ballot papers for the nationwide election district and for the single-mandate election district, as well as writing the number under which the voter is included in the voter list for the election precinct. The voter shall certify the receipt of the ballot papers by putting his or her signature on the voter list and on the designated places on the counterfoils of the ballot papers. After that, the member of the election commission shall detach the counterfoils from the ballot papers and hand one ballot paper for the nationwide election district and one ballot paper for the single-mandate election district over to the voter. The counterfoils of the ballot papers shall be stored by the member of the commission who handed over the ballot papers. Making any other marks on the ballot papers shall be prohibited.

Article 88. Processing Voter Lists

1. Each precinct election commission member responsible for working with the voter list shall count and record the following data for each sheet of the voter list that he or she received, separately for each sheet:

1) the number of voters included in the voter list, as of the moment of the end of voting;

2) the number of voters that received ballot papers for voting at the premises for voting (based on the voters’ signatures in the voter list);

3) the number of voters that received ballot papers at their places of stay (with the mark “voted at place of stay”).

2. After the entry of the data mentioned in Part one of this Article, the precinct election commission member shall sign each sheet of the voter list, sum up the respective figures from all sheets of the voter list that he or she received, and pass the sheets and the summarized figures over to the head of the election commission. The aforementioned summarized figures shall be recorded in the register specified in Part seven of Article 84 of this Law. The head and the secretary of the precinct election commission shall sum up the aforementioned data, announce the totals, and enter them on the last page of the voter list.

3. After the end of voting, the voter list of the election precinct shall be closed by striking out empty lines in the voter list (designated for entering voters’ last names) in a way that makes it impossible to add any more voters to the list; signed by the head (the chair of the meeting) and the secretary (secretary of the meeting) of the precinct election commission; and affixed with the seal of the precinct election commission.
