Voting clerks shall be appointed by the election committee. However, voting clerks at a foreign mission shall be appointed by the head of the authority. If the election committee has decided that vote reception shall take place at a hospital, a penal institution, a remand centre or similar establishment, the committee may allow the head of the establishment to appoint voting clerks there.

Only those who have received such training as is necessary for the assignment may be appointed as voting clerks.
