What the election authorities must do at the end of the advance voting The election official or the chairperson of the electoral commission must sign an attestation on the covering letter that the voting has been enacted as prescribed by law, and if no proof of receipt of the covering letter is made on the covering letter, also mark it with a date and the name of the advance polling station or, if the advance polling has been held at an institution or as an at-home voting, the name of the municipality where the voting has been held. The election official of an at-home voting must also take care that the person present at a home voting as referred to in section 54  signs the covering letter. After this the envelope for the ballot paper and the covering letter must be enclosed in the covering envelope. The election official and the electoral commission must keep the covering letters in their possession carefully and in a reliable way.
