(1) Every voter may become a member of an election board unless the said voter has been denied the right to vote. No candidate for a seat in the Parliament of the Czech Republic shall be a member of an election board.
(2) Regional, district, divisional, and ward election boards shall consist of representatives delegated by a political party, political movement (hereinafter "Political Party"), and their coalition, each submitting a separate list of their candidates for registration to stand for election to the Chamber of Delegates, or each applying separately for the registration of their candidate to stand for election to the Senate. Should a list of candidates be submitted, or should the registration of a candidate be applied for by more Political Parties joined in a coalition, the right to delegate election board members and their stand-ins shall belong to the joint coalition, and not to the individual Political Parties of which the said coalition consists. Names and surnames of the party/coalition representatives and their stand-ins, along with their full addresses shall be communicated by the Political Parties or the coalitions to the person calling the election board to its first session. Should a list of candidates be rejected by a regional election board or the Central Election Board, or should a Political Party or a coalition retract its list of candidates, the representation of the said Political Party or coalition on any election board shall cease to exist. Should a divisional election board or the Central Election Board reject an application for registration of a candidate, or should such an application be retracted by a Political Party or coalition, the representation of the said Political Party or coalition on any election board shall cease to exist. Should a member of an election board fall ill, have more urgent commitments, or should a member's office become vacant, the chairman of the respective election board shall summon the first stand-in as delegated by the Political Party or coalition whose representative is being replaced. The stand-in shall become a member of the election board upon taking an oath (see below, Paragraph 3 of this Article). Upon the stand-in's becoming a regular member of the election board, the membership of the representative first in office shall cease to exist.
(3) Members of election boards shall assume their office upon taking an oath. The oath of a member of an election board shall be as follows: "I swear on my honour to perform the rights and duties of my office in an unbiased and assiduous manner, observing the Constitution, laws and other legal statutes of the Czech Republic." A member of an election board shall be considered to have taken the oath upon signing the oath in writing.
