Polling representatives' and election observers' right to be present

The polling representatives of parties, joint lists and constituency associations not belonging to any joint list as well as persons authorised by polling representatives, in writing and separately for each election authority, have the right to attend the meetings of the election board, central municipal election board and constituency electoral committee that are held to determine the candidate numbers, to organise or count the ballots or to determine the election results.

The Ministry of Justice may authorise a domestic or a foreign election observer to observe elections in the entire country, and a central municipal election board may authorise a domestic or a foreign election observer to observe elections in the municipality. The election observer has the right to be present when the election authorities referred to in this Act perform their duties.
