Ballot organization



The ballot shall take place in special rooms with tables where ballot papers are being handed, with cabins or rooms for secret ballot and ballot boxes. The ballot boxes are to be placed in such away, that the voter in order to reach it, has to pass through the cabin or secret ballot room.

In order to ensure the proper order and to avoid agglomeration, the electoral committee of the polling station shall determine a route for the voters, beginning with the entrance to the tables where ballot papers are handed and finally toward the rooms for secret ballot and ballot boxes.



The polling station shall be arranged in such a way as to allow the members of electoral committee and other persons authorized to assist at electoral procedures to supervise continuously and under all aspects the process of ballot, inclusively the identification of the voter, counting votes and elaboration of reports.



Local public administration authorities shall endow the polling station cabins, ballot boxes and other necessary materials.



The electoral committee of the polling station shall be responsible for the organization of ballot, for the secrecy of expressing the will of voters, for the endowment of rooms as well as for the maintenance of order.
