If polling does not proceed in a polling ward on the specified polling day because of circumstances beyond control, the senior electoral commission shall call a new polling session to be held within one week.
A senior electoral commission may postpone polling in a polling ward after the polling session begins if it considers that circumstances beyond control prevent it from proceeding and all members of the electoral commission agree on the postponement. If polling is postponed, a new polling session shall be called in the same manner as prescribed in paragraph 1.
The provisions of Chapter XIV shall apply to the latter polling day, as appropriate.
