Facilities in polling wards.
Each polling ward shall have a suitable number of polling booths designed to enable the
casting of votes there without others being able to see how the voter casts the ballot.
In each polling room, there shall be a ballot box. The ballot box shall be designed to render
it impossible to remove a ballot paper from it without opening it. Ballot boxes shall be sealed
so as to leave visible traces if they have been opened. At the opening of the polling session,
the electoral commission shall ensure that the ballot boxes are empty and then seal them using
a seal provided by the National Electoral Commission. The Commission shall lay down
further rules on arrangements in polling rooms, the size and design of ballot boxes and seals.
The senior electoral commission shall ensure that a sufficient number of ballot boxes are
available at any time for use at polling stations.
