Procedure for filling in the ballot paper
(1) The voter ballot shall fill in the ballot paper only in the boot for secret ballot. A voter
who cannot fill in the ballot paper personally shall have the right to call another person to assist
him/her, with the exception of electoral officials from the electoral bureau of the polling station,
representatives of electoral competitors (referendum participants) and persons authorised to
attend electoral operations. These cases shall be specifically recorded in the report of the
electoral bureau of the polling station.
(2) The voter shall affix the stamp with the inscription ‘voted’ inside the circle of a single
rectangle in the ballot paper, which means that he/she voted for the corresponding electoral
competitor or for one of the referendum options. The circles in the other rectangles shall
remain as such.
(3) Photography and public display of the filled in ballot paper or removal of the ballot
paper handed over to the polling station shall be prohibited.
(4) A voter may vote for only one electoral competitor or one of the options in the
referendum.
(5) If the voter has incorrectly filled in the ballot paper, at his/her request, the electoral
bureau of the polling station shall cancel this ballot paper and issue a new ballot paper only
once. This case shall be mentioned in the minutes of the results of the counting, as indicated
under the heading ‘number of ballot papers not used and cancelled’ as well as in the electoral
roll.
(6) The voter shall introduce the ballot paper with the ‘voted’ stamp in the ballot box.
