Wards

(1) Larger municipalities are to be divided into wards for the purposes of the elections. These have to be planned in such a way that on the election day in each ward there are not more than around seventy voters to be dealt with per hour.

(2) Municipalities including regions lying at a greater distance from each other (regions with dispersed location) can also be divided into wards in order to facilitate the voters’ access to the polling station.

(3) The setting up of wards of less than 30 voters requires the permission of the provincial elections authorities. This can only be given when the necessary anonymity can be secured.
