1. With a view of making it more convenient for voters to reach a polling station and with account of the number of voters, the territories of municipalities shall be divided into polling districts. 2. The division of the territory of a municipality into polling districts is permanent when organising and holding elections and referenda; however, it may be changed, where necessary, by the Central Electoral Committee on the recommendation of the mayor. The Central Electoral Committee shall publish a list of approved polling districts, and changes made therein in the supplement Informaciniai pranešimai (Information notices) to Valstybės žinios (The Official Gazette). 3. No more than 5, 000 voters must reside within the territory of a polling district. 4. The boundaries of a polling district and the address of a polling station shall be changed, where necessary, but no later than 100 days prior to elections. In his recommendation to approve the division of the territory of the municipality into polling districts, the mayor shall specify the proposed name of the polling district, the addresses belonging to the polling district, the number of voters in the polling district, the address and telephone number of the polling station. The recommendation on changes in the division of the municipality into polling districts shall specify the changes it is proposing. Such recommendation must be submitted to the Central Electoral committee at least 110 days prior to elections. In the event when it is impossible to have polling at the polling stations established earlier, the Central Electoral Committee, on the recommendation of the municipal electoral committee, may change the address of the polling station within a shorter time limit than the one specified in this Article.
