Paragraph 73
 

According to Article 33 (2), the size of polling stations may not exceed 3000 voters. The maximum recommended size of polling stations should be 1500 voters, with the average not over 1200. Otherwise it is very likely that too many voters gather in the polling station and the elections procedure would not be calm. In polling stations with too many voters registered the danger of violations of the results by electoral body might increase as the impact of violation increases. The larger the polling station, the larger its impact on the overall results and the more eager the administration or political parties might be to influence the results in the polling station.
