Each chosen candidate and each additional vote counts as a party vote for the electoral list. The number of party votes is decisive for the distribution of mandates between the different lists.
The names deleted and not replaced on pre-printed ballot papers count for the electoral list indicated at the top of the ballot paper (additional vote).
If a voter enters the name or number of a list on a ballot that is not pre-printed (blank ballot), the lines left blank count as the number of votes allocated to the list (additional vote). In this case, however, the voter must write at least one name of a candidate, otherwise the ballot is invalid.
If, on the other hand, the voter enters no name or no list number and the ballot paper contains at least one name of a candidate, the lines left blank are not counted
