Making Changes to Corrected Voter Lists for a Regular Election Precinct

1. Amendments to the corrected voter list shall be made by the head or the deputy head and the secretary of the precinct election commission on the basis of a court judgment and notification from the State Voter Register maintenance body with regard to multiple inclusion of a voter in the voter list for a particular election precinct. Such changes may be made prior to 18.00 hours of the last Saturday prior to the day of voting.

2. Should a voter be included in the voter list for an election precinct under the procedure for making amendments to the corrected voter list, the information on a voter, which is required in accordance with the form of the voter list, shall be entered at the end of the voter list. In this case, the date and number of the court judgement shall be entered in the column “Notes”.

3. The removal of a person who was wrongly included in the voter list shall be made by striking out, and the removal shall be certified in the column “Notes” by the word “Excluded” and the signatures of the head and the secretary of the precinct election commission. In that case, the date and number of the court judgment or notification from the State Voter Register maintenance body shall be entered in the same column next to the voter’s last name.

4. When making changes to the corrected voter lists based on a court judgment, a precinct election commission shall notify the respective State Voter Register maintenance body without delay on inclusion of a voter in the voter list or exclusion of a voter from the voter list.

5. If it is found that a voter is included in the corrected voter lists two or more times, in connection with receipt of a report from a precinct election commission on the inclusion of the voter in the voter list for another election precinct, then the State Voter Register maintenance body receiving such a report shall notify without delay the respective precinct election commission, which must exclude the voter from the voter list for that precinct.

6. On the day prior to the day of voting, after changes have been made to the corrected voter list based on the court judgments, notifications of the State Voter Register maintenance bodies, the voter lists shall be closed by crossing out the blank columns of the voter lists for entering voter names so as to prevent entering additional voters to the voter list, and signed by the head or deputy head and the secretary of a precinct election commission and affixed with the precinct election commission’s seal.

7. On the day of voting no changes to the corrected voter lists shall be made.

8. On the day of voting, the head, the deputy head, or the secretary of the precinct election commission shall correct all inaccuracies and technical errors in the corrected voter list, namely, misspelled last names, first names (all the first names), patronymic names (if any), errors in the date of birth, and number of the building and apartment of residence, provided that despite such technical errors it is obvious that the person on the voter list is the same person who has come to the election precinct for voting. Such correction shall be certified in the column “Notes” by the signature of the head or deputy head or secretary of the precinct election commission.

9. The information on voters included or excluded from the corrected voter lists, which is required in accordance with the form of the corrected voter list, as well as the information on voters, concerning which changes were made or inaccuracies and technical errors were corrected, shall be transferred by a precinct election commission to the respective State Voter Register maintenance body.
