Poll Card


1. A poll card shall be an information certificate about elections, designated for a voter; a nominal invitation to go to the polls. Electoral committees shall deliver to voters the poll cards together with other information about elections or shall organise such delivery. A voter himself, or at his request – any other person, may print or write out his poll card in accordance with the data of the electoral roll of the Republic of Lithuania received electronically pursuant to the procedure established by the Central Electoral Commission (by the internet or the short message service). In this event, the voter himself shall sign his poll card, except for the cases when because of the physical handicaps he himself cannot sign it and it is signed by another person chosen by the voter, indicating his name, surname and personal number. Forms of poll cards which a voter may fill in himself shall be distributed by electoral committees. A poll card shall be obligatory only in the cases when a voter votes not in a polling district not an election day.


2. A poll card shall indicate:


1) the voter’s name and surname;


2) the voter’s home residence;


3) the name, number of a polling district on the electoral roll of which the voter has been entered, as well as the address of a polling station;


4) the name and number of a single-member constituency to the territory of which the polling district is assigned;


5) the number of the voter in the electoral roll of the polling district;


6) the election date, the voting time at the polling station of the polling district, the invitation to go to the polls, other information relevant for the voter or when organising the elections.


3. If a voter requests to issue him with a poll card in place of the lost one or of a poll card he has not received, a poll card must be issued to the voter immediately right after the establishment of the data on the voter which must be entered on the poll card.
