(1) If no obstacle to voting exists, the polling station commission shall, on the basis of the polling district electoral register, hand over to the voter the ballot paper, place a stamp in its top left corner in the presence of the voter, and shall hand over the envelope for the ballot paper, if the voter so requests.

(2) The polling station commission shall, where necessary, explain the voting process without influencing the voter.

(3) Where a candidate on a candidate ballot paper drops out, or a list is eliminated, after the fourteenth day prior to voting but before voting day, and ballot papers have already been produced, the polling station commission shall inform the voters to that effect in a notice displayed in the polling station, and, if necessary, orally. The local election office before voting day, or the polling station commission on voting day, shall cross out on the ballot paper the names of drop-out candidates or eliminated lists.
