Article 82
 

1. The FVL of voters assigned to the same PC shall be prepared in the manner prescribed by
the CEC and in a way that no PS within the PC exceeds seven hundred and fifty (750) voters.
This limitation does not apply to the voting at the diplomatic representation, where the number
of voters is determined by the CEC decision. Meanwhile, for polling stations within the country,
the exceptions to this rule may be authorized by the CEC.



2. A PS must be large enough to ensure the proper conduct of voting by setting up all work
stations as defined in this Law and ensuring the secrecy of voting, the free view and control of
the ballot box, and unimpeded access to observers.



3. The following persons are authorized to be present in a Polling Station or Centre:


3.1. persons attending for the purpose of voting;



3.2. members of the Polling Station Committee and Polling Centre staff;



3.3. CEC Members and CECS staff;



3.4. Municipal Election Commission members;



3.5. accredited observers of the electoral process;



3.6. police, when called upon to restore order; and



3.7. interpreters for the persons listed in sub-paragraphs 3.3, 3.5 and 3.6 of this
paragraph.


4. With the exception of paragraph 1 of this article, the maximum number of voters in the voting
centres open in diplomatic representations is determined in advance by a special decision and
is based, among other things, on the evaluations of the CEC for the conditions of the facility and
the its relevant spaces. The electronic registration platform accepts to register only as many
voters as the logistical conditions allow. The diplomatic representation takes care to obtain
permission, if necessary, from the competent authorities of the receiving country.
