45.-(1) In each polling district voting takes place at one polling station.

The voting booths must be designed to allow the voter to cast his vote without being watched by others. Voting booths shall be provided with the requisite tools for voting. Ballot boxes must be designed to prevent removal of ballot papers without opening of the ballot box. Ballot boxes must be lockable or sealable.

(3) At the polling stations notices shall have been put up indicating all the names of parties and candidates in the order listed on the ballot paper. For the parties, their letter designations, too, shall be stated.

(4) The local council shall ensure that the requisite preparations for the voting procedures have been made at each polling station and that polling supervisors and appointed electors have been briefed about their duties on election day.
