(1) Voters who wish to cast their vote in advance must duly prove their identity to the vote receiver. The advance voting material will hence be issued, cf. section 60.
(2) The voter indicates on the ballot paper the name or letter of a party which has candidates standing in the multimember constituency where the voter is on the electoral register. If the voter wishes to cast his or her vote for a particular candidate standing in the appropriate multimember constituency, the voter shall state the name of the candidate, with the possible addition of the party name or letter.
(3) The voter fills in the ballot paper without being watched by others and puts it into the envelope. The voter then fills in the covering letter and signs it in the presence of the vote receiver, who confirms the casting of the vote. The voter places the envelope containing the ballot paper and the covering letter in the cover and seals the latter in the presence of the vote receiver. The voter fills out the back of the cover containing the small envelope with the ballot paper and the covering letter with his/her name, date of birth and address in the presence of the vote receiver.
(4) If the voter is unable to fill in the ballot paper or to fill in and sign the covering letter, or if the voter requests other assistance with the advance voting process, the vote receiver(s) shall provide the requisite assistance, cf. however subsection (6). Assistance in voting shall be provided by personal assistance and by use of any aids to be provided during the advance voting process, cf. section 63, 2nd sentence. If so expressly and unambigiously demanded by the voter, and if the voter’s demand is justified by an immediately identifiable or demonstrable physical or mental impairment, the personal assistance may be rendered only by a person appointed by the voter him- or herself. In addition to the vote receiver, or, in case of participation by more than one vote receiver, instead of one of these, the voter can demand personal assistance in voting by a person of his/her own choice. If such personal assistance has been rendered, it must appear from the covering letter.
(5) A candidate standing in the multimember constituency may not render personal assistance in voting as vote receiver.
(6) Personal assistance in filling in the ballot paper may be rendered only where the voter is able to indicate direct and unambiguously to the person(s) providing the assistance for which party or candidate the voter wants to vote.
(7) The envelope together with the ballot paper and the covering letter shall be sent to the local council of the municipality where the voter is registered on the electoral register.
(8) The vote receiver shall ensure that voters who wish to vote in advance are not subjected to electioneering or other forms of opinionative influence in the immediate proximity of the place where the advance voting is taking place.
