Sorry there is no English version of this document. But the point 2 seems overly explained.
Basically it says you have 27 “points” and can elect a representative by attributing 1 or 2 points next to their line. If you put the check on the column, you’ll elect all their members, which can be confusing for the voters as well as the vote counters. Then if you have some points left, you can distribute them (or not?)
I wonder why having a so complex way to attribute points while you could have only checkboxes and tick 27 times :
– less mistakes
– less endless explanations
– less counting time
– less deduction
– less understanding issues for people sensitive to cognitive overload or attention span deficit.
Another way to fix this would be to force the lists to be 27-member and not less. Like that you have only 2 options: distribute points, or vote a list.
But hey, let’s vote next weekend!
Ps. I wonder how many invalid votes are counted due to understanding mistakes.

Just because you think it’s confusing doesn’t mean it’s not a better system .
You don’t have to use your 27 votes, less than 27 is also valid

From what I heard from polling station workers, it’s the “list votes” that are easier to count. With individual votes, you often end up recounting, voters sometimes make too many crosses, etc.
