Order and the orderly conduct of the voting

1. When order or the orderly conduct of the voting are endangered at the voting centre, the VCC makes a decision to suspend the voting, and may also decide to call in the State Police organs. The CEAZ is immediately notified of the decision to request assistance in restoring order. The VCC also notes in its Meeting Record Book the incident that has occurred, the time the voting was interrupted and the time it resumed. 

2. The chairman, deputy chairman or any member of the VCC immediately notifies the CEAZ about the incident that has occurred. The CEAZ is required to record the notification and the time it was received in the CEAZ Meeting Record Book. The CEAZ immediately delivers the request to the State Police organs. 

3. Once order has been restored in a voting centre, the VCC, by decision, asks the State Police organs to leave the voting centre and takes measures for the immediate recommencement of voting.
