(1) Voters who wish to cast their vote in advance must duly prove their identity to the vote receiver. The advance voting material will hence be issued, cf. section 66.

(2) The voter indicates on the ballot paper the list or letter designation of a list of candidates standing in the municipality or region, respectively, where the voter is on the electoral register. If the voter wishes to cast his or her vote for a particular candidate standing in the appropriate municipality or region, respectively, the voter shall state the name of the candidate, with the possible addition of the list or letter designation of the list of candidates on which the candidate appears.

(3) The voter fills in the ballot paper without being watched by others and puts it into the envelope. The voter then fills in the covering letter and signs it in the presence of the vote receiver, who confirms the casting of the vote. The voter places the envelope containing the ballot paper and the covering letter in the cover and seals the latter in the presence of the vote receiver. The voter fills out the back of the cover containing the small envelope with the ballot paper and the covering letter with his/her name, date of birth and address in the presence of the vote receiver.

(4) If the voter is unable to fill in the ballot paper or to fill in and sign the covering letter, or if the voter requests other assistance with the advance voting process, the vote receiver(s) shall provide the requisite assistance, cf. however subsection (6). Assistance in voting may be provided through personal assistance and the use of aids to be provided during the advance voting process, cf. section 69, 2nd sentence. In addition to the vote receiver, or, in case of
participation by more than one vote receiver, instead of one of these, the voter can demand personal assistance in voting by a person of his/her own choice. If so expressly and unambiguously declared by the voter to a vote receiver, and if the voter’s declaration is justified by an immediately identifiable or demonstrable physical or mental impairment, the personal assistance may be rendered by a person appointed by the voter him- or herself. If personal
assistance in voting has been rendered, it must appear from the covering letter.

(5) A candidate standing for election to the local or regional council may not render personal assistance in voting as a vote receiver.

(6) Personal assistance in filling in the ballot paper may be rendered only where the voter is able to unambiguously declare directly to the person(s) providing the personal assistance for which list of candidates or candidate the voter wants to vote.

(7) The envelope is sent to the local council in the municipality where the voter is registered in the electoral register.

(8) The vote receiver ensures that voters who wish to vote in advance are not subjected to electioneering or other forms of opinionative influence in the immediate proximity of the place where the advance voting is taking place.
