translated from Spanish: Security seal and suspension act: Servel explained how votes will be protected overnight

From the Electoral Service (Servel) they clarified how the process of sealing the ballot boxes will take place, when on Saturday at 18 hours, election day is suspended, to continue on Sunday morning.
The ballot boxes will be sealed with a flight stickered over the slot where the votes are entered and also crossed. A trade-sized safety seal will also be placed, which will be signed by table vowels and proxys upon request.
The same thing happened with the excess material, which will be sealed and stored in boxes. Security stamps will have an identifier number assigned to each of the tables. All material will remain in a custody room, which will be arranged by each polling place
Each of the tables shall also provide a “suspension record”, containing the names and RUT of the members, the number of voters who voted and the total unused votes. This document shall be tripled for the chairman of the table, the Commissioner and the delegate of the electoral board.
Once the process is complete, only Carabineros staff or the ff.AA. seized and an assistant delegate may remain inside the premises.
On Sunday, meanwhile, the minutes will be reviewed from 07.30 and a Link from servel will photograph the minutes delivered to polling stations.
The chairman of the Servel Board of Directors, Andrés Tagle, said that any violation “will always leave a trace of irregularity, either because the seals, the seals of the votes were broken, the ballot boxes were opened or things do not fit with the data on the suspension record.”
“There, what the locals have to do is record in the same record of the irregularity and what it consists of, and they always have to resume voting. Subsequently, based on the background to this minutes, it will be the Electoral Court that will decide the validity or invalidity of that table,” he explained.
