§ 40
 

Procedure following the issuing of a voting card


(1) The issuing of a voting card has to be marked in the electoral roll by entering the words "voting card" in a clear way next to the name of the voter concerned under the heading "Remark". Until the twenty-ninth day after the election day, the municipalities shall inform any person entitled to vote who is registered in the electoral roll upon oral or written request whether a voting card was issued for that person. For that purpose, the municipalities, after having forwarded the electoral rolls to the municipal elections authority, shall keep ready copies until the aforementioned date unless they have other records of the voting cards issued, e.g. in an IT application. When making a request, the person entitled to vote is to present credible evidence of his or her identity.
