Designating a polling station

1. The head of community (also the head of the penitentiary institution in cases provided for by this Code) shall designate a polling station no later than 43 days before the voting day. The head of community shall inform the authorised body, the relevant district electoral commission and the person possessing the premises of the polling station thereon, and the head of the penitentiary institution shall inform the district electoral commission.

2. In case of impossibility to organise the voting properly or to hold it at a polling station, the head of community shall be obliged to change — no later than 5 days before the voting day, upon the request of the chairperson of the district electoral commission — the location of the polling station, and, in exceptional cases, also the voting day, upon the consent of the chairperson of the district electoral commission.

3. In case the location of a polling station is changed, the head of community shall immediately inform the electors thereon.
