Casting of a vote when the identity of a voter is in doubt

The members of the elections authorities, the election witnesses and any other voters, who are in the respective polling station, can raise an objection against the admissibility to the casting of a vote of the person entitled to vote as long as he or she has not cast his or her vote.


(2) The decision of the elections authorities has to be made before continuation of the voting procedure. This decision is final.
