Article 65
 

Pre-election voting


A voter who casts a vote with an election official in a constituency where the voter is on the electoral register, and who leaves a letter with the vote, shall by himself or herself place the letter in a regular ballot box. The ballot box shall be sealed by the election official along with the relevant electoral commission, and the agents for the lists may place their seals on the box.


Other voters shall themselves manage and pay for the sending of their ballot letters. The election official is however obligated, if the voter so wishes, to post the letter.


It is sufficient to bring a letter with a pre-election ballot into any polling ward of the constituency where the voter is on the electoral register.
