Voters who do not find their names on the voter’s lists on Election Day may, under certain conditions, be entered into a supplementary voters’ list. The number of voters entered into such supplementary lists increased from 6% in 1998 to 10% in 2001 and 12.3% in 2003 according to the OSCE/ODIHR. This indicates voters’ lists have not been maintained in such a way that the need for supplementary lists have been reduced. The use of supplementary lists increases the risk of multiple voting and the risk for voters voting in the wrong municipality. The procedure for scrutiny of the voters’ lists before the elections should be made more practical. In addition measures for reducing the risk of multiple voting should be introduced.
