   4. Should the Landsdoom rule in favour of the plaintiff, it may rule either that:

      2. the final vote tally shall be adjusted to disregard an invalid vote, include a wrongly discarded vote or include a new vote;
      3. the election be declared void and a new election held under the procedures outlined in this Act.
   5. The decision of the Landsdoom may be appealed to the Uppermost Cort.
