Article 141
 

(1st Article of Law 2234, amended on 17 May 1979.)


If people who are appointed by this law in order to prepare the documents relating to the voter lists, fail to perform their task properly and in time, or to keep such documents, or to deliver them to the relevant authority; they are sentenced for six months to two years.


In case these acts occurred due to negligence, indifference or the lack of attention during the duty, the offenders are sentenced for three months to one year.
If such an offence has actually prevented the preparation of voter registers or ballot box voter lists or the voting procedures in a certain election district, the offenders are sentenced from one year to two years for the cases described in the first paragraph and from six months to two years for the cases described in the second paragraph.
