Article 70
 

(1) At each polling station, the rooms for voting must be equipped and prepared in a manner that ensures the secrecy of voting, so that no one in the room can see how a voter fills in the ballot paper.


(2) At the polling station, the ballot papers must be shuffled so that they are not organised in order of their serial numbers and are spread out in a fan shape, face down so that the serial number is not visible.


(3) In the rooms where voting is to take place, state symbols may be displayed pursuant to the Constitution of the Republic of Croatia and the Act on the Coat-of-Arms, the Flag and the National Anthem of the Republic of Croatia, and the Flag and Sash of the President of the Republic of Croatia. In the same rooms the insignia of the county, city, or municipality may also be displayed pursuant to their statutes.
