(1) The right to vote is exercised by personal appearance at the polling station. Before voting a voter must turn over his or her poll card to the kee­per of the electoral register. Where a voter has omit­ted to bring his or her poll card a new one shall be written out. The kee­per of the electoral register shall demand that the voter states his/her date of birth. Additonally, the voter shall give his or her name and address upon request. In case of doubt about the identity of a voter, the identity must be proven, if necessary through pro­duction of documen­tation thereof. Then, and after the keeper of the electoral register has ticked off the voter’s name in the electoral register, the voter is handed a ballot paper.
