There's already a provision in the act for the ballot box to be unsealed if the statement of the vote, which is the result at the polling division, isn't available at the validation of results. In that case, the returning officer can go into the box to retrieve the copy of the statement of the vote. But this is done at the validation process, where the candidates' representatives are present. Our concern with this provision is that it seems to allow for the ballot box and the envelopes to be opened without candidates' representatives present to ensure there's no improper stuff happening with the election documents.
