Establishment of polling districts

1. For the purposes of preparation for and holding of elections, all municipal territory shall be divided into polling districts. The following factors shall be taken into account:
1) the number of voters (a polling district must consist of not more than 5 000 residing voters);
2) voter convenience when it comes to access to the polling stations.
2. The Central Electoral Commission, on the recommendation of the director of the municipal administration, shall approve and, if necessary, update the division of municipal territory into permanent polling districts. At least 180 days before the polling day, the Central Electoral Commission shall publish on its website the list of approved polling districts, the addresses of their polling stations, and the geographic coordinates of the facilities housing the polling stations.
3. The director of the municipal administration shall submit for approval the division of the municipal territory into polling districts and concurrently indicate the proposed name for each polling district, the geographic coordinates of its boundaries, the number of voters in the polling district, the address of the polling station, and the geographic coordinates of the facilities housing the polling station.
4. If necessary, the boundaries of the polling district and the address of the polling station may be changed no later than 100 days before the polling day, provided this is done within the boundaries of the single-member constituency. The municipal administrations shall update the geographic coordinates of the boundaries of the polling district by means of electronic communications under the procedure set out by the Central Electoral Commission.
