Article 58
 

 The voting is carried out in person at the polling stations determined in the municipality and/or the City of Skopje.


 
The voters approach to vote one by one. One of the members of the Electoral Board checks if the voter is at the appropriate polling station.

When the voter approaches to vote, the Electoral Board verifies through the use of an ultra-violet detection lamp if the voter has an indelible mark on the thumb of his right hand, making sure to check the nail of the thumb of the voter.

When the voter approaches to vote, the Electoral Board checks his personal identity.

The voter shall prove his personal identity with an ID card or passport.

After the identification of the voter, the Electoral Board circles his ordinal number in the excerpt of the Voters’ List and the voter places his signature, while if he is illiterate, he shall put his right index finger print. If the voter does not have a right index finger then he shall put a print of his left index finger, and if he does not have a left index finger as well, then putting a print shall not be needed.

After the identification, the voter shall receive a ballot and shall have his right thumb, or left thumb if he does not have a right thumb, marked with invisible marking ink, making sure that the application covers the nail of the thumb. If the voter does not have a thumb on either hand, then marking shall not be done.
