Paragraph 37
 

37. Article 10 part 3 has been revised to enable voters having record-registration of another settlement of the same community in the place of their actual location on the day of the election to temporarily withdraw from the list of electors by place of registration indicating the new address where they will be on election day. Temporary registration is also extended to election commission members and specialists working on election day (Article 10 part 4). In addition, according to Article 10 part 5, voters with no registration in the country can apply to the authorised body to be temporarily included in the voter list by indicating their temporary address. In all cases, in addition to paper format, applications are submitted electronically, ensuring easy accessibility, especially for persons with disabilities. In case of doubt on the credibility of online applications, the authorised body may require the electronic application to be certified with an electronic digital signature or submit an application in paper format. This could safeguard against false applications. Generally, the procedures appear simple and avoiding unnecessary bureaucratic steps and reasonably speedy. All these measures aim to ensure the suffrage rights of all citizens.
