Polling stations

1 – Each parish shall have one polling station.

2 – The polling stations of parishes where the number of electors significantly exceeds 1,000 shall be divided into polling sections, at the initiative of the parish authority or the municipal authority, in such a way that the number of electors is adequate to the geographical reality and to the venues for conducting the electoral act, aiming, where possible, not to exceed that number significantly.

3 – By the thirty-fifth day before election day, the mayor shall decide on the division requests provided for in the previous paragraph, and shall immediately communicate them to the corresponding parish council and to the electoral administration services.

4 – The decision referred to in the previous paragraph may be appealed within a time limit of two days, at the initiative of the parish councils or of at least ten electors from any polling station, to the section of the local instance of the judicial district court with civil competence and jurisdiction in the area of the municipality, unless a section of the central instance of the judicial district court with civil competence is functioning at the seat of the municipality, in which case the appeal shall be lodged before that section.

5 – The definitive chart of polling stations and sections shall immediately be affixed at the municipal councils.
