Article 34
 

Principles of being written on registry:


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


 Electoral roll is taken basis in determining voters title.


Electoral roll includes voter’s name, surname, mothers name, father’s name, date of birth, district of birth, resident address. 


             (Change: 27/10/1995 - 4125/3 art.) In implementation of this Law, everybody is processed due to month and day of birth written in electoral roll. But in case elections are held in such year, while preparing voters list while calculating the age of eighteen, day of elections (including such date) is taken into account. 


 In case there is missing information related with voter, such voter is not written in electoral roll unless missing information is completed.


Completing rules are determined and published by Supreme Election Council. 


Ballot voters lists including information related with voters in polling station, are extracted from electoral roll. Voters who do not exist in ballot voters lists, are not allowed to vote.


Voter is written once in electoral roll and can not vote more than once.


 Writing process is undertaken by officials visiting the places of residences and making on-site examinations. Registry officials record only voters who exist in the place. The address of the voter is recorded. Registry form with serial number is signed by each voter.
