Exchange of bulletins in Vila Real
In Vila Real, an exchange of ballot papers was detected at table 18 of the voting section and will be evaluated after the votes have been counted.
A source from the Vila Real City Council explained to the Lusa agency that batches of bulletins were delivered to three tables in this assembly, which mistakenly contained bulletins from other parish assemblies. At tables 9 and 19, the changes were detected before the polls opened and the situation was corrected. At table 18, the situation was detected only with the seventh voter, Therefore, it is not certain whether the previous bulletins used were correct or not.
The municipality said that all the ballots that were being delivered were immediately checked, explaining that the errors occurred at the time of printing by the printer and, later, at the time of verification by the chamber and polling station in question.
If ballots appear during the counting of votes that do not correspond to that Parish Assembly, they will be placed in a separate envelope and, during the general count, the responsible judge will decide what to do with the votes.
According to the CNE, the process will be evaluated and it will be up to the candidates and the general counting assembly to make a final decision on the matter, with the possibility of an annulment of the votes or a challenge.
