Opening of polls.
A polling session shall be opened at each polling station at 9 a.m.; however, a senior
electoral commission may decide that the polling session shall start later, but no later than 12
noon. A fully constituted electoral commission must be present when a polling session is
opened. If not all members of the commission are present, the alternates of the members not
present shall fill their positions, but if they also are absent, then the member or members of
the electoral commission who are present shall appoint voters to sit on the electoral
commission until the others arrive.
The opening of a polling session shall be publicised with due notice in the manner in which
official notices are customarily published in each location.
