The voting shall be carried out by secret ballot.

If the PB fails to organise the polling station in the manner that provides full secrecy of vote, the PB shall be dissolved and voting at that polling station shall be repeated.

A voter shall vote on the ballot paper exclusively in the area designated for that purpose (screen/room divider/booth cabin) so that no one is able to see who he or she has voted for.

In the event that a voter infringes the secrecy of voting by casting his or her vote in public, outside of the area envisaged for voting or by showing his or her ballot paper in public to the PB by displaying who he or she has voted for, based on a decision of the PB and in the presence of its members, after separating the control coupon the president of the PB shall make such ballot paper invalid by crossing it out, folding it in a separate envelope and dropping it in the ballot box instead of the voter.

The manner of voting referred to in Paragraph 4 of this Article shall be put on Record of the Work of the Polling Boards by the president of the PB.

Detailed instructions on measures securing the secrecy of vote shall be defined by the SEC.
