Polling representatives

Each party and constituency association nominating candidates shall have a polling representative, and each polling representative shall have a deputy. In addition, those constituency associations

which form a joint list shall authorise the polling representative of one of the constituency associations to act as the polling representative of a 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 the 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.
