Article 28
 

Validity of the voting register The voting register enters into force at 12 a.m. on the 12th day prior to the polling day. The valid voting register shall be adhered to without alterations. The voting register is considered legally valid although the Provincial Administrative Court has not issued a decision on an appeal lodged with the court before the voting register has entered into force. If someone has obviously incorrectly under section 26 (1) been listed in the voting register as ineligible to vote, the Population Register Centre may delete the entry from the valid register. A person who on the polling day provides the election committee with a decision of the Provincial Administrative Court or the Supreme Administrative Court stating that he/she is entitled to vote, has the right to cast a vote. The person is obliged to submit the decision or a copy of it to the election committee.
