If a voter cannot be found on the excerpt from the Central Voters Register because the voter registered to vote out of country and has returned to vote in person in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the voter’s name will be added to a special form that consists of all the categories of data as the excerpt of the Central Voters Register.  The voter will sign the excerpt of the Central Voters Register, and the voter will have the right to vote by tendered ballot in accordance with the other provisions of this law. 

 

The voter’s identification documentation shall be retained until the voter returns the tendered ballot in the sealed envelope.  The voter’s ballot will be placed in a special envelope by the voter, on which is written information from which the voter’s right to vote can be verified, and which shall be sealed before being placed by the voter in the ballot box. After the close of the polling and after opening the ballot boxes in accordance with this law, the Polling Station Committee shall count the number of tendered ballots found in the ballot box and record the number in the Poll Book and shall package and forward all sealed envelopes to the Municipal Election Commission.  The Municipal Election Commission shall forward the packages of sealed envelopes from each Polling Station in the municipality to the Election Commission of Bosnia and Herzegovina.  The Election Commission of Bosnia and Herzegovina shall confirm that the voter is registered to vote out of country and the voter’s right to vote before the envelope is opened and the ballot is counted.  If it cannot be confirmed that the voter is registered to vote out of country and has the right to vote, then the envelope shall not be opened or counted.
