Collecting signatures of voters who support the electoral list

A voter may support by his/her signature only one electoral list.

Statements of voters supporting the electoral list shall be certified by a notary public or municipal / city administration, and in municipalities or cities where notaries public have not been appointed, statements of voters supporting the electoral list may be certified by the basic court, court unit or intake office of the basic court.

The amount of fee for the certification of signatures of voters supporting the electoral list shall be determined by the Ministry in charge of justice.

A certified statement of voter supporting the electoral list shall also be valid when such errors have been made at completing statement forms that allow determining with certainty which electoral list is supported, provided that the statement has been certified by the competent authority.

It is forbidden to collect signatures of support from voters at their workplace or to expose voters, in any way, to pressure to support the electoral list.

Seven days prior to the Election Day, at the latest, the Republic Electoral Commission shall publish on its website, for each proclaimed electoral list the number of verified voters’ statements who supported the electoral list with their signature per each local self-government unit, accompanied by the data on the number of statements in each local self-government unit verified by each of the authorised certifiers individually (notary public, municipal or city administration or basic court, court unit or basic court’s registry office).
