Baltic EU member. Elections administered by the Central Electoral Commission (Vyriausioji rinkimų komisija, VRK), an independent constitutional body; voting is by paper ballot at polling stations. In 2022 the predecessor laws were consolidated into a single Election Code (Rinkimų kodeksas); the present corpus uses the English translations of the consolidated predecessor acts hosted on e-seimas.lrs.lt — the substantive EII content is unchanged.
