Polling representatives

Each party and constituency association nominating candidates shall have a polling representative in the electoral district (polling representative of a party and polling representative of a constituency association), and each polling representative shall have a deputy. In addition, those constituency associations which form a joint list shall authorise a polling representative of one of the constituency associations to act as the polling representative of the joint list and another one as his or her deputy.

The polling representative of a party or a joint list may not act as the polling representative of another party or a joint list. The polling representative of a constituency association may not act as the polling representative of a party, another constituency association or a joint list other than the one which his or her constituency association belongs to. The polling representative of a party or a constituency association may not be a member or a deputy member of a constituency electoral committee or a central municipal election board.

An application, notification or rectification referred to in this Act may on behalf of the polling representative be made by a person authorised in writing by the polling representative in question. The provisions of this Act on polling representatives of a party, joint list or constituency association apply, as appropriate, to deputy polling representatives.

A party shall notify the name, personal identity code and contact information of the polling representative of the party and his or her deputy to the constituency electoral committee on the 48th day before the election day at the latest
