Disposition versions

Full text
370.9. On polling day, the deputy returning officer, assisted by the poll clerk, counts the votes. The votes are counted at the place and time determined by the Chief Electoral Officer in accordance with sections 362 to 370.2, with the necessary modifications.
If the votes are counted at the office of the Chief Electoral Officer, each authorized party may designate a representative to attend.
No ballot paper may be rejected for the sole reason that one of the words it bears is misspelled if the elector’s intention is clear or for the sole reason that it does not bear the election officer’s initials, if the number of ballot papers in the ballot box corresponds to the number of ballot papers that were placed in it according to the list of electors or the register of votes counted, as the case may be.
2006, c. 17, s. 25; 2021, c. 37, s. 105.
