Article 72a
 

(1) A voter not able to vote at a polling station (incapacitated or prevented person) may notify the polling board of his/her wish to vote, and shall do so by no later than 11.00 a.m. on the day of the elections.


(2)Three members of the polling board’s enlarged composition, representatives of the submitters of three different electoral lists and designated by the polling board shall go to the place of such a voter, establish his/her identity and deliver to him the official envelope, stamped ballot paper, general electoral list, suffrage certificate and a separate envelope for the filled-in ballot paper, inform him/her about the manner of voting and leave the room in which the voter casts a vote.


(3) After the voting, the voter shall sign the suffrage certificate, fold the ballot paper and put it into a separate envelope which shall be sealed before the voter with the wax seal by the present polling board members who shall thereafter put the signed suffrage certificate and the separate envelope with the ballot paper in an official envelope.


(4) Upon returning to the polling station, the polling board members shall immediately deliver the official envelope to the remaining polling board members, to be opened by the polling board, which shall on the basis of the signed suffrage certificate circle the ordinal number under which the voter is enlisted in the excerpt from the electoral roll, and finally open the sealed envelope from which the folded ballot paper shall be taken and dropped in the ballot box in such a manner as to disallow the visibility of who the voter has voted for.


(5) If the official envelope does not contain the signed certificate of suffrage, the voter shall be deemed not to have voted.
