§ § 9Voting procedure

(1) The electoral committee gives a ballot paper and an envelope bearing an impression of the seal of the electoral committee to the members of the Riigikogu or electoral body. The ballot paper is given on the basis of a list, on presentation of an identity document. The member of the Riigikogu or electoral body signs against receipt of the ballot paper.
(2) A ballot paper is completed in a voting booth. The member of the Riigikogu or electoral body marks the ballot paper with a cross in the space beside the name of the candidate in whose favour they vote. Where the name of only one candidate is entered on the ballot paper, the member of the Riigikogu or electoral body marks the ballot paper with a cross in the space if they vote in favour of the candidate.
(3) After completing the ballot paper, the voter places the ballot paper in the envelope and gives it to the electoral committee, which puts an impression of the seal of the electoral committee on the envelope. Thereafter, the voter deposits the envelope in the ballot box.
(4) If the ballot paper is spoiled before it is deposited in the ballot box, the member of the Riigikogu or electoral body has the right, upon return of the spoiled ballot paper, to receive a new ballot paper from the electoral committee, with regard to which a notation is to be made in the list.
(5) The chair of the sitting declares the voting closed one hour after the declaration of voting.
