Starting October 1, voters can go to the polling station in person or check the data on the Central Election Commission’s website online, IPN reports. “Make sure you are on the correct list and ready to vote in the presidential election and the referendum!”, urged the electoral authority.
According to the Electoral Code, the basic electoral roll includes all the citizens with the right to vote who have their domicile or temporary residence within the territorial radius of a polling station. The voter can be put only in one electoral list and at one polling station.
The basic electoral list includes the election name and date, the locality, the number of the polling station and the number of the electoral district, the name and surname, the year of birth of the voter, the domicile/temporary residence of the voter, the state identification number, series and number of the identity document, the “Note” section and the sections intended for the signatures of the electoral bureau member and the voter.
The electoral legislation provides that the voters, representatives of election contestants, referendum campaigners and observers are given the opportunity to see the electoral roll and verify if the data on voters are correct. They have the right to submit requests for inclusion in the list or exclusion from it, as well as for the correction of errors made when registering data about themselves or other voters no later than seven days before election day. The requests are examined within 24 hours, and the decisions on the requests can be challenged by the interested subjects in court, according to the established procedure, if the correction or inclusion requests were rejected.
As many as 2,221 polling stations were set up for the national constitutional referendum and the presidential election of October 20. Of these, 1,987 are in national electoral constituencies, including 30 for voters from the left bank of the Nistru, and 234 are for voting-eligible citizens who are abroad.
