Disturbance to the use of electronic electoral registers.

• In the event that a fault or disturbance renders an electoral register unusable, the voter shall receive a ballot paper and a designated ballot paper envelope. The voter shall then, without assistance and without anyone seeing, write his or her vote on the ballot paper in the polling booth. The voter shall then place the ballot paper in the ballot paper envelope. Next, the voter shall address and sign a designated outer envelope in the presence of the electoral commission, which certifies the casting of the vote. On the outer envelope, it shall be stated that the vote was cast without the electoral commission’s access to the electronic electoral register, in addition to stating the timing of the voting and the name and personal identification number (kennitala) of the voter. The ballot paper envelope shall be inserted in the outer envelope, which the voter shall then place in the ballot box.


• The National Electoral Commission shall ensure that each polling station is equipped with the necessary voting materials to conduct polling under this provision.
