Delivery of poll cards


1. Delivery of poll cards to voters shall be organised by polling district electoral committees.


2. The procedure for delivering poll cards to voters who are in healthcare institutions (other than outpatient institutions), social care institutions, military units, arrest houses of territorial police units, places of pre-trial detention and arrest, prisons as well as to voters who have gone abroad shall be laid down in Articles 137 and 145.


3. The distribution of poll cards to voters must be completed in at least eight days before polling day. If several different elections or elections and referendums are concurrently announced during the same period, a poll card may be single.


4. If a voter has not been entered on the electoral roll of a polling district but the voter’s home address is allotted to the territory of this polling district according to data of the Population Register, the polling district electoral committee shall provide an application form, as prescribed by the Central Electoral Commission, to be filled in by the voter in order to be entered on the electoral roll of this polling district (alternately, a member of the polling district electoral committee may fill in this application form; the application form may also be submitted by the voter electronically under the procedure laid down by the Central Electoral Commission) and shall immediately report this to a constituency electoral committee, which must arrange for the voter’s name to be entered on the electoral roll of that polling district on the basis of the said application. A poll card shall be delivered to the voter after updating the electoral rolls.
