§ 24
 

Place of registration


(1) Each person entitled to vote is to be entered in the electoral roll of the place (municipality, ward) where they have their main place of residence on the day set as deadline. The place of registration of those who live abroad is to be determined according to the voters’ index.


(2) Each person entitled to vote can only be entered once in the electoral rolls.


(3) Persons entitled to vote who are called up for army or community service or who are doing their community service are to be entered in the electoral roll of the municipality where they had their main place of residence before they were called up, except in the case where their main place of residence changes during the time period when they are carrying out their duty.


(4) In case one and the same person entitled to vote should be entered into more than one electoral roll, their name has to be immediately taken out of the register where it has been wrongly entered. The person concerned and the municipality in the electoral roll of which the name of this person is to remain are to be informed of the procedure described above.
