7. Scrutiny and counting of votes.

(1)The Returning Officer shall scrutinise and count the votes or cause them to be counted on the date and time and at the place notified under Sub-rule (5) of Rule 4 and on any subsequent date or dates as may be necessary to complete the scrutiny and counting.
(2)Any candidate may be present in person or may sent a representative duly authorised by him in writing to watch the process of scrutiny and counting.
(3)The Returning Officer shall show all identification envelopes whether accepted or rejected to the candidate or their representatives if any for examination of the propriety of his decision. Any objection made against this decision of acceptance or rejection of any identification envelope shall be decided at once by the Returning Officer and his decision shall be final.
(4)The rejected identification envelopes shall be placed in separate bundles and shall be sealed for being kept in safe custody as provided in Rule 9.

(6)As the voting papers are separated from the envelopes, the Returning Officer will proceed to examine the voting papers in convenience batches to see whether the votes have been recorded in accordance with the provisions of these rules. He shall record his decision "rejected" on every voting paper which is found to be defective in any respect and which he rejects and indicates thereon the ground for rejection very briefly. The remaining voting papers shall be deemed to be accepted.
(7)If any objection is taken against his decision of acceptance or rejection of any voting paper, such objection shall be decided by the Returning Officer at once and his decision shall be final.
