Section 51
 

(1) Voting takes place within the same polling districts as in general elections. In each polling district voting takes place at one polling station.


(2) The local council shall provide the premises for the voting and the requisite number of voting booths and ballot boxes. The voting booths must be designed to allow the voter to cast his or her vote without being watched by others. Voting booths shall be supplied with the requisite tools for voting. Ballot boxes must be designed so as to prevent removal of ballot papers without opening of the ballot box. Ballot boxes must be lockable or sealable. Each polling station must have separate ballot boxes for local and regional elections.


(3) Notices specifying all approved lists of candidates for the local and regional elections shall be placed in the voting premises, with indication of the letter and list designations of these lists and with the names of candidates appearing in the order shown on the ballot paper. Notices shall also provide information about election coalitions.


(4) The local council shall ensure that the requisite preparations for the voting have been made at each polling station and that polling supervisors and appointed electors have been briefed about their duties on election day.
