(1) The voting process on the polling day and preparations therefor shall comply with the rules set out in section 44 and Part 7 for general elections to the Folketing, but see subsections (2)-(4). (2) On application a voter may cast his vote on the election day at a different polling station in his residential municipality from the one to which the voter is affiliated according to the electoral register, see section 96, if a voter’s disability or poor health justifies the change in polling station. Section 47a(2)-(4) shall apply accordingly, with changes as required by the nature of the vote. An application may not be submitted, however, until four weeks prior to the voting day.


(3) In the casting of votes, voters who are in favour of the bill or the act shall put a cross against the word ”Yes” on the ballot paper, while voters who are opposed shall put a cross against the word ”No”. Voters shall receive guidance about this through notices put up in the voting booth.


(4) If, on the same day, two or more referandums are to be held, special ballot boxes shall be provided at each polling station for each vote. The voter shall receive a ballot paper for each vote. The voter shall take all ballot papers into the voting booth and after casting his or her vote shall place them in the appropriate ballot boxes.
