Location of polling stations

1 - Polling stations must assemble in public buildings, preferably schools or seats of municipal councils or parish councils that offer the indispensable conditions in terms of capacity, security and access. In the absence of public buildings in acceptable condition, resort shall be had to a private building requisitioned for the purpose.
2 - The mayor or the chairman of the municipal administrative committee and, in the municipalities of Lisbon and Porto, the respective neighbourhood administrators, have the competence to decide the locations in which the electoral stations are to operate.
