Membership of ballot box committee: 

(Change: 17/5/1979 - 2234/1 art.)

Members of ballot box committee are determined as follows:

 President of District Election Board notifies five political parties which take the highest vote amount in recent parliamentary elections to deliver names for one permanent and one reserve member within five days following notification.  In case the number of members are less than five, remaining memberships are completed with other political parties meeting similar conditions according to the amount of their votes.   In case of equal votes, lot is drawn.

 In case five permanent and five reserve members are not determined with the provisions mentioned above, lot is drawn among the political parties which have organizations within the borders of district. 

 Addition to this, two members are chosen among permanent and reserve members of village or neighborhood community councils by method of drawing. In this process, first name is considered as permanent and the second name is considered as reserve member. In the villages and neighborhood where necessary numbers of members from community councils can not be determined, deficient members are completed by implementing the provisions of this clause on political parties which have not contributed to ballot box committees mentioned in clauses above. 

 For the members of ballot box committees who are determined with principles above, in case of absence of member, his reserve is taken.

 Drawing lots of president and members of ballot box committees are executed before District Election Board and by the president of such board. 

 In case memberships are unable to be completed with such methods, president of District Election Board assigns members who have no legal limitation to be a member.
