Section 25
 

(1) Voting on election day and preparations for the voting process shall take place in accordance with the rules in section 44 and Part 7 in the Folketing (Parliamentary) Elections Act, subject to the deviations resulting from candidates not being allowed to stand on a nonparty basis, but see subsections (2)-(4).


(2) On application a voter may cast his vote on election day at a different polling station in his residential municipality from the one to which the voter is affiliated according to the electoral register, see section 14, if a voter’s disability or poor health justifies the change in polling station. Section 47a(2)-(4) of the Folketing (Parliamentary) Elections Act shall apply accordingly, with changes as required by the nature of the election. An application may not be submitted, however, until four weeks prior to election day.


(3) The Minister for the Interior and Health may lay down rules of no voting by personal appearance at the polling station on election day for voters holding a franchise under section 3(1)(ii).


(4) A candidate may not render personal assistance in voting as polling supervisor or appointed elector.


(5) The Minister for the Interior and Health may lay down more detailed rules governing a change of polling station on request from voters with a disability or
impaired mobility.


(6) The Minister for the Interior and Health may lay down rules on aids to be provided during the voting process.
