The voter receives a ballot paper directly from the head of the polling station.

This ballot paper must be folded twice in a right angle with the boxes on top of the lists inside of the folded paper. It must be put down in front of the head to fold it up the same way. It must be stamped on the back showing the name or the district where the vote took place and the election’s date. The committee determines at least five places for the stamp to be possibly stamped on and chooses it through a drawing by lot. This drawing will be repeated once or several times during the operations by demand of one of the members of the polling station or a witness. If the committee decides that such a proposition cannot immediately be received, the demanding member of the committee or the candidate’s witness can demand that the reasons for the refusal are noted in the protocol.

The voter goes directly into one of the compartments to cast his vote. He shows his regularly folded ballot paper with the stamp on the outside to the head and puts it into the ballot box after the head or an assessor on his behalf has stamped the invitation to vote using the stamp mentioned in the previous paragraph. He is not authorized to unfold the ballot paper while leaving the compartment in order to not make publicly known his vote. If he nevertheless does it, the head of the polling station takes the ballot paper that is invalidated and obliges the voter to vote anew.

The voter, who due to a handicap cannot go on his own into the compartment or express his vote by himself, may with the authorization of the head of the polling station be accompanied by a guide or a facilitator. The name of the one or the other is mentioned in the protocol.

If an assessor or a witness doubts the reality or extent of the handicap, the committee makes a decision and the motivated decision is noted in the protocol.
