Paragraph 62
 

The amended law differentiates between: domicile - a person’s permanent place of residence, confirmed in the ID with the “domicile” stamp; and residence – a person’s temporary place of residence, confirmed in the ID with the “residence” stamp. Article 9 (2) states that if a voter has both a domicile and a residence, he/she should vote at his or her place of residence, i.e. the place of temporary residence. This change makes it easier for a voter, such as a student, to exercise the right to vote.
