(1) The electoral register is closed by the municipal authority not later than the day  before the election but not earlier than the third day before the election. Upon closure, the  municipal authority determines the number of eligible voters in the polling district. Closure  is certified as shown in Annex 8. If an automated process is used to maintain the electoral  register, a print-out must be produced prior to certification.

(2) Electoral registers of two or more municipalities or parts of municipalities which have  been combined to form one polling district are merged by the municipal authority conducting the election in the polling district to form the electoral register of the polling  district and are then closed.
