Article 57
 

1. When a voter finds that his/her electoral components are inaccurate, or that he/she is not registered in the voter list of the polling unit of his/her domicile or in any of the voting lists of his/her domicile’s local government unit, he/she has the right to submit a request to the respective district court until 24 hours before the election date. This request, based on this point, shall be exempt from court tax payment.


2. When the voter changes the domicile after the posting of the voter list, the voter list shall not be changed and the voter shall vote in the voting centre where his/her name appears on the approved voter list. If the voter submits a request to the court under the conditions set out in this point, the request shall be rejected.


3. District courts examine and decide on requests, according to point 1 of this article, on the last day before the Election Day, as well as on the Election Day, but no later than 6 hours before the closing of the polls. In case the court decision changes electoral components, the electoral component subject to change is clearly specified.
When it specifies the voting centre or the voter is added to the list, the court decision shall specify the voting centre where the voter shall vote and the number of the identification document.


4. The name of the voter who comes to vote with a court decision shall be written by the VCC in a special register and the court decision shall be attached to it. The number of the identification document used for voting shall also be registered in this register. The same procedure shall apply when a decision is made in accordance with article 55, but it is not reflected in the voter list.
