Preliminary Voter Lists



No later than six months before the end of the mandate of the organs for which the elections are being held, the civil status offices commence work on the compilation of the preliminary voter lists. The civil status offices compile the voter lists based on the documentation available in the fundamental registers of civil status as well as the registry of citizens with residence in the respective electoral unit, documented as such until five months before the end of the mandate. This information is sent to the National Registry of Civil Status and the National Registry of Voters no later than four months before the date of the end of the mandate of the Assembly, or, as appropriate, the municipal or communal council.





The National Registry of Voters processes the information within two weeks and documents all the possible duplications of the voters registered in the same or different local units and requests the municipalities and communes to de-register those voters who are registered according to their residence from the voter list of their domicile.



Within one week, municipalities, municipal units and communes shall take the decision to remove from the lists those voters who are registered in the voter lists of their residence. The mayor and secretary of the municipality or commune approve and sign the preliminary voter list.



The preliminary voter lists shall be administered within three days by the respective LGEC and posted in every voting center.
