Section 53
 

(1) 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, cf. section 8, if a voter’s disability or poor health justifies the change in polling station.


(2) An application to cast a vote at a different polling station in the residential municipality must be submitted to the local council of a voter’s residential municipality not later than by noon eight days prior to election day. An application must be submitted previous to every local or regional election and may not be submitted until four weeks prior to election day.


(3) The local council shall arrange for a voter whose application has been granted under subsection (1) to be deleted from the electoral register at the polling station to which the voter was initially affiliated and added to the electoral register at the polling station of transfer.


(4) The Minister for the Interior and Health shall lay down the rules for the change in polling stations on application for voters with a disability or poor health.
