Article 1
 

(Annex: 10th Article of Law 533, on 13 February 1965; (1st Article of Law 1700, amended on 24 March 1973.) The Supreme Board of Elections makes announcements broadcasted through the radio channels of the government in prime times and at other suitable times, in order to catch the attention of the voter by reminding the importance of voting as a citizen and in order to rouse consciousness of the people about the elections and to inform them about the formation of voter registers, first voter census and registration operations, inscription operations to be repeated, audits, the forming, posting and removing of ballot box voter lists, objections and additional registration operations, distribution of voter information cards and voting and other issues and the time-limits for such matters.


Provincial and District Electoral Boards also issue announcements of that nature through customary means of communication.


The radio channels of the government does not charge the Supreme Board of Elections and Provincial and District Electoral Boards for such announcements.
In order to assure that each and every voter is registered and figures in the ballot box voter lists and all the voter information cards are distributed, the Supreme Board of Elections issues notices to inform related voters about their operations. Chairmen of Provincial and District Electoral Boards assure that their employees receive the required training and fulfil their duties properly in accordance with the notices of the Supreme Board of Elections.
