Voting clerks shall be appointed by the election committee. However, voting clerks at a foreign mission shall be appointed by the head of the mission. If the election committee has decided that vote reception shall take place at a hospital, a correctional institution, a detention centre or similar establishment, the committee may allow the head of the establishment to appoint voting clerks there.

Only those who have received such training as is necessary for the assignment may be appointed as voting clerks. The training material provided by the central election authority shall be used for this training. However, the election committee may replace parts of the material or supplement it if this is necessary in view of local circumstances.
