What happens when a ballot box is closed?
When a ballot box is closed a representative from each team or independent candidate is called to the polling station. The box is sealed in all areas then the seals are then signed by the representative present. The signature indicates that they believe the ballot box is secure and ready for transport. A photo is also taken of the ballot box with the representatives for additional records. The ballot box remains at the polling station until the end of the voting day when it is transported with the rest of the boxes, under the scrutiny of the candidate representatives, to the secure location.
