Article 47
 

The polls shall open at each polling station at 9 am; a presiding election board may, however, decide that the polls shall open later, but no later than at 12 noon. A fully constituted election board must be present when the polls are opened. If all members are not present alternates shall replace them; should alternates not be present either the member or members of the election board who are present shall invite a respected person or persons from among the voters to sit on the election board and remain in their seats until the others arrive.

The time of opening of the polls must be advertised at each location with such notice and in the manner customary there for publishing official notices.
