  We present the results of a search for emission-line galaxies (ELGs) towards
nearby voids, based on a sample selected on the HQS (Hamburg Quasar Survey) -
III-aJ objective-prism plates. The survey was based on the presence of
emission-lines and therefore has the advantage to detect very faint objects
  (with all the flux in the emission-lines and almost no continuum), that would
be missed by an apparent magnitude limited survey. We found objects as faint as
B=20.5 and M(B)=(-15.0,-12.0).
  The observational data are given in Popescu et al. (1996) and in the present
paper we consider a complete subsample from these data. We analyse the spatial
distribution of our sample of ELGs in comparison with the distribution of
normal galaxies. Overall both distributions trace the same structures.
Nevertheless we also found a few ELGs in voids, from which at least 8 lie in
the very well defined nearby voids. The isolated galaxies seem to form fainter
structures that devide the larger voids into smaller ones. {}From our estimates
of the expected number of void galaxies we conclude that we did not find an
underlying homogenous void population.
