Voting inside the polling station

(1) When the election proceedings open, electors who appear in the register of electors in the municipal authority area are admitted to cast their vote in the order in which they arrive.

(2) The polling committee place a cross in the register of electors by the elector's name. An elector who is unknown to the returning officer shall provide proof of identity.

(3) The elector shall in a secluded room and unobserved fold the ballot paper together in such manner that it is not possible to see for which electoral list the elector is voting. The elector hands the ballot paper to the polling committee, who stamp it with an official stamp. The elector in person drops the ballot paper into a ballot box.

(4) Electors who do not appear in the relevant section of the register of electors shall not place their ballot paper in the ballot box. After the ballot paper has been stamped, the elector shall in person place it in a ballot paper envelope and give it to the polling committee. The polling committee place the ballot paper envelope in a cover envelope, seal it and write on it the elector's name, residential address and date of birth.

(5) A voter who is unable to vote alone due to physical or mental disability, may, at his or her own request, receive assistance from a returning officer or another person who the voter him/herself has selected. A returning officer shall inform the helper that he or she has a duty of secrecy. If a member of the polling committee or an election official at the polls is of the view that the voter does not satisfy the requirements for receiving assistance, the polling committee will decide whether the voter satisfies the requirements.

(6) Ballot boxes used for voting on Election Day shall be sealed.
