Article 56
 

(1) In larger communities, being partitioned in precincts the community electoral authority shall determine at least one polling station where the voters with electoral cards have to cast the ballot. In Vienna at least one polling station for voters with electoral cards shall be established in each community district. If polling stations are determined for voters with electoral cards, these voters may only exercise their right to vote in the polling stations determined for voters with electoral cards. Moreover, voters without electoral cards shall also be admitted if the preconditions of § 37 al. 1 are met. However, members of the electoral authorities and their auxiliary personnel, and the election witnesses retain the right to vote also before the electoral authorities where they perform their duties, provided they have electoral cards.

(2) The regulations of al. 1 do not affect the provisions of §§ 72 and 73.
