ARTICLE 169
 

Methods of casting votes 


Ballots shall be cast in the form and with the media stipulated for each election by the TSE in the regulations it shall issue at least six months beforehand. However, the Tribunal can use electronic voting methods if it determines them to be reliable and secure. It can then dispense with ballot papers and the procedure inherent in their use, although a printed register for auditing electronic voting must always be guaranteed. 


The aforementioned regulations cannot be modified in any way within the six months prior to the election. The preparation and final draft of these regulations and their modifications and updates must be notified to political parties prior to their publication.
