Organisation of Electoral Bodies
(1) Electoral bodies are
the Federal Returning Officer and the Federal Electoral Committee for the electoral area,
a Land Returning Officer and a Land Electoral Committee for each Land,
a Constituency Returning Officer and a Constituency Electoral Committee for each constituency,
an Electoral Officer and an Electoral Board for each polling district,
and at least one Electoral Officer and one Electoral Board for each constituency to establish the results of the postal ballot. The Constituency Returning Officer decides on
the number of Postal Ballot Boards that need to be set up in order to establish the result of the postal ballot on election day.
(2) A Joint Constituency Returning Officer may be appointed and a Joint Electoral Committee formed for several neighbouring constituencies; the Land Returning Officer issues the relevant order.
(3) To establish the result of the postal ballot, Electoral Officers and Electoral Boards can be appointed for individual or several municipalities or for individual administrative districts within a constituency rather than for every constituency; the Land Government or the body designated by it issues the relevant order.
