Procedure of Making Amendments to Voter List at Regular Polling Stations
1. Head, deputy head or a secretary of a commission may make amendments to a voter list at the regular polling station.
2. A voter list at the regular polling station may be amended on the following grounds:
1) a voter’s application for excluding him/her from a voter list and issuance of an absentee certificate in accordance with paragraph 1 of article 42 of this Law;
2) a decision of a polling station commission passed in accordance with paragraph 2 of article 44 of this Law;
3) a court decision passed in accordance with paragraph 7 of article 43 of this Law;
4) lists of voters to be put in a voter list at a polling station and to be excluded from a voter list, drawn up by a district election commission in accordance with paragraph 6 of article 44 of this Law.
3. In making amendments to a voter list on grounds indicated in sub-paragraphs 3 and 4 of paragraph 2 of this Article, a polling station commission shall not pass a decision.
4. Head, deputy head or a secretary of a polling station commission shall make amendments to a voter list immediately after closing a commission’s meeting, at which they passed a decision as referred to in sub-paragraph 2 of paragraph 2 of this Article, or immediately after a polling station commission receives documents as referred to in sub-paragraphs 3 and 4 of paragraph 2 of this article.
5. When putting a voter in a voter list at a polling station under the procedure of making amendments to a voter list, information on such voter, as stipulated by the voter list form, shall be added in the end of the voter list subject to documents, which gave basis for putting a voter on a voter list. At that, in a field “notes” date and number of a polling station or a district election commission’s resolution or a court decision on putting a voter on a voter list shall be indicated.
6. Individuals, who have been put in a voter list illegally, shall be excluded from a list by crossing out, which act shall be certified with a “crossed-out” entry and signatures of a head and a secretary of a polling station commission to be affixed in the “note” field. At that, in the field next to a voter’s name, date and number of a polling station or a district election commission’s resolution or a court decision on excluding a voter on a voter list shall be indicated.
7. A voter list after being amended with changes indicated in sub-paragraph 4 of paragraph 2 of this article should be closed by crossing-out of unfilled entries of the list in the way that makes impossible further amendments of the voter list and is affixed by the signatures of the head and secretary of the commission, and certified by the polling station commission’s seal.
8. Head, deputy head and a secretary of a polling station commission may correct errors and technical mistakes in a voter list on Election Day – wrongful spelling of a first, second name, patronymic, date of birth, house, apartment number – if, despite of such technical mistakes, it is clear that a voter who arrived at a polling station for voting is the same person who was put in the list. Such correction shall be certified with signatures of a head or a deputy head and a secretary of a polling station commission being put in a “notice” field.
9. It is prohibited to make any amendments to a voter list at the regular polling station after execution of actions referred to in paragraph 7 of this article.
