Preparations in a polling station

Before the start of polling, the chairperson of a polling district commission shall inspect the ballot box and the portable ballot box in the presence of members of the commission and then shall seal both ballot boxes. The chairperson shall inspect the polling station for its equipment and for whether it has two counterpart electoral registers, sufficient ballot papers, and sufficient non-transparent envelopes of the same size, quality and colour which are stamped with the official seal of the municipality (in this Act referred to as an "envelope").  The chairperson shall then declare the start of polling.
