Articles 18 and 19 authorise the CEP to establish "at least" two polling stations in each communal section. It is important to note that Article 19 enables the CEP to create additional polling stations if the number of citizens entitled to vote so warrants. To guarantee equal treatment, it would be advisable for the CEP to set a maximum number of voters and a maximum distance for each polling station in advance. With regard to distance, i.e. the burden that the voter must bear in order to vote, the CEP should take into account the security context and not just the physical distance. In a difficult security context, even polling stations that are physically close may be difficult to reach if the voter has to cross insecure territory. Therefore, to ensure equal access, the CEP may need to set up polling stations for smaller groups of voters, if they live in isolated areas. The Venice Commission recommends that the draft decree be amended accordingly.
