Paragraph 36
 

The provisions on voter’s addresses are more extensive than those set out in the draft Law commented in 2005. As noted above, a voter may request that his or her voting address is different from the address registered under the Law on Freedom of Movement. There is nothing in the Law to stipulate the grounds on which such a request may be made (Article 8.2), although any such request must be ‘justified’. If this question is not regulated in the Law on Freedom of Movement, the applicable grounds will need to be addressed by the CEC in its regulations. Given that it should not be difficult to prevent double registration in these circumstances, the grounds for specifying a different address should not be unduly stringent.
