Instructing voters

After handing out a ballot paper to the voter, the polling board shall instruct him/her that he/she may vote for one electoral list only by circling the ordinal number in front of the name of that electoral list, that the voting is secret and that it takes place behind a screen, and that after filling in the ballot paper, the voter should fold it so that it is not visible how the ballot paper was filled in, and insert it thus folded into the ballot box.

The polling board shall warn the voter, in particular, that voting is based on freedom to vote, and that no one has the right to prevent or force him/her to vote, to take him/her to account for voting or failure to vote, or to ask him/her to declare why and for whom he/she has voted.
