Maintenance of the Voters’ Register

(1) The local authority of the municipality shall, before each election, compile a regis-ter of the persons eligible to vote for each general polling district (Section 12), entering their surnames and forenames, dates of birth and residential addresses. The voters' register may also be maintained by means of an automated process.

(2) The voters’ register shall be compiled with serial numbers in alphabetical order of surnames and, where surnames are identical, of forenames. It can also be subdivided by area, street and house number. It shall contain one column for notes on voting and one column for remarks.

(3) The local authority of the municipality shall ensure that the documentation for the voters’ registers is available at all times and is so complete that the registers can be compiled in good time for elections.

(4) If a polling district comprises more than one municipality or parts of more than one municipality, the local authority of each municipality shall compile the voters’ register for its part of the polling district.
