2. if no vote is recorded thereon; or
3. if votes are given in favour of candidates more than the seats to be filled in any of the reserved and unreserved categories of the constituency concerned.
4. if the mark indicated thereon is placed in such a manner as to make it doubtful to which candidate the vote has been given; or
5. If it is spurious ballot paper; or
6. If it does not bear both the official seal and the signature of the Election Officer:
Provided that a ballot paper shall not be rejected merely on the ground that the mark indicating the vote is indistinct or made more than once, if the intention that the vote shall be for a particular candidate clearly appears from the way the paper is marked.
Explanation. -For the purpose of subrule (2), the Election Officer shall consider separately the seats reserved for each of the categories of SCs/STs/BCs/Women and unreserved seats and reject all the votes given by a voter in a particular category, if they arc more than the number of seats to be filled from that category, that is, the Election Officer shall not reject the votes given by the same voter in other categories, which are equal to or less than the number of seats to be filled from the other categories.
Before rejecting any ballot paper under sub-rule (2) the Election Officer shall allowed candidate a reasonable opportunity to inspect the ballot paper but should not allow him to handle it or any other ballot paper.

21. Procedure at election when equality of votes exists. -In the election when an equality of votes is found between any two or more candidates and the addition of one vote will entitle any of the candidates to be declared elected, the Election Officer shall, after intimation to the candidates, forthwith decide between those candidates, by lot, in such manner as he may determine and proceed as if the candidate on whom the lot falls had received an additional vote.
