(1) Before each election, the municipal authority compiles a register of the eligible  voters for each general polling district (section 12), listing the voters’ surnames and first  names, dates of birth and residential addresses. The electoral register may also be  maintained by means of an automated process.

(2) The electoral register is compiled such that it contains consecutively numbered  entries, which are ordered alphabetically by the voters’ surnames and, where surnames  are identical, by the first names. It may also be subdivided by locality, street and street number. It contains a column for voting-related marks and an additional column for  remarks.

(3) The municipal authority ensures that the documentation for the electoral registers is  available at all times and is so complete that the registers can be compiled in good time  before elections.

(4) If a polling district comprises more than one municipality or parts of more than one  municipality, each municipal authority compiles the electoral register for its part of the  polling district.
