Voting certificates available until July 28 inclusive

The Central Election Commission (CEC) reminds that the voting certificates can be taken from the offices of the polling places until July 28 inclusive, Info-Prim Neo reports. Under the legislation, the persons that will not be in the settlement where they live or have the domicile on the election day can ask for a certificate allowing them to vote from the office of the polling station between July 14 and July 28, 2009. The certificate is issued on the basis of the identity card, the passport or another identification paper. It enables the voters to cast their ballots in any of the polling places set up in the country. Under the Electoral Code, the students that have temporary residence visas in dormitories can vote at the polling place that is closest to the dormitory. In order to vote at another polling station, including at the permanent places of residence, the students must apply for a voting certificate to the office of the station opened in the area where they live permanently.
