Voting will take place in about 12,000 sections, and in about 9,400 of them it will be possible to vote by machine.
Citizens can verify in which polling station they can vote by visiting the website of DG “GRAO” at the Ministry of Regional Development and Public Works. To carry out the check, simply enter the PIN.
For the correct development of the electoral day, the commissions must carefully verify if the voter is present in the respective list of voters and only then present the ballot.
It is mandatory to provide the opportunity to vote undisturbed, while maintaining the secrecy of the vote.
No one should be present within 10 feet of the darkroom, there should be no line of sight into the darkroom, and the screen of the electronic voting machine should be visible only to the voter. Outsiders are not allowed in the sections, recalled by the association “Transparency without Borders”.
The members of the commissions are obliged to correctly handle the ballots: they tear the ballot from the cob in front of the voter, put the first stamp on it, after the vote they check if the control number in the lower corner matches the cob number, put a second stamp and tear – again in front of the voter’s control number (without revealing the secret of the vote and verifying how you voted).
Next, the voter is registered in the corresponding electoral roll with the data of the identity card and is invited to sign.
In sections with more than 330 voters there is the possibility of voting with an electronic machine. If necessary, the commission gives instructions on how to operate the machine, after which it allows citizens to vote independently, keeping the vote secret.
Candidates, representatives of local authorities and persons without designated status cannot be present at polling stations. Only members of sectional commissions, voters, defenders, observers and journalists can be present, while they report on the course of the electoral process. PEC members, advocates and observers must wear badges.
Transparency International requests that any violation of the sectional electoral commission or party representatives be presented to the District Electoral Commission. You are obliged to make a decision immediately and publish it on your website, together with the received signal. The telephone numbers for communication with the DEC are indicated on the door of the voting station.
In case of suspected crimes, such as buying votes, exerting control and pressure on voters, a signal is sent to the Ministry of the Interior.
It is necessary to signal in the following situations:
1. Unsupervised persons must be present to monitor the voting of the voters.
2. Free transportation is organized in buses, cars, as well as voter accompaniment and group voting.
3. Instruct voters on who to vote.
4. Ask voters about the way they intend to vote.
5. Pressure voters to vote in a certain way.
6. Prevent voters from voting.
7. Collection of identity cards and preparation of lists with personal data of voters.
8. Reveal the secret of the vote.
9. Threats of physical violence and voter harassment.
10. Distribution of money.
11. Debt forgiveness.
12. Distribution of food, firewood and other material benefits.
In such cases, employees of the Interior Ministry are obliged to immediately verify the signal and stop illegal actions. At the door of the voting station there are telephones to send signals to the Regional Directorate of the Ministry of the Interior and the prosecutor on duty. The Interior Ministry also maintains a centralized line for signals of electoral violations: 02/9011298, as well as an email: [email protected].
The signals can also be sent to the association “Transparency without borders” on a free phone – 0800 11 224.
