Article 74
 

(5th Article of Law 4381, amended on 31 July 1998.) The Polling Station Committee determines the locations of ballot-boxes and the measures to be taken for conducting the voting on time under the supervision of district boards. An easy, free and secret voting performance by the voters is regarded in determining the locations of ballot-boxes. Measures are taken to provide disabled voters to cast their votes easily. Ballot boxes are installed in public places such as appropriate parts of school yards (including private schools and private courses) and rooms, and if not sufficient, in other places those are hired for that purpose, such as cafes, restaurants, etc. Ballot-boxes cannot be placed in military barracks, headquarters and other military buildings and facilities as well as the police stations, party buildings, offices of the headman in the villages or neighbourhoods. Concerning buildings where there are more than three ballot boxes, the Supreme Board of Elections defines the principles of duties of those building managers.
