Article 57. Early voting

A voter who is unable to stay at his / her place of residence on election day shall have the right of early voting.

Early voting begins ten days before the election and ends three days before the election. The time of early voting shall be determined by the Central Election Commission and brought to the attention of voters and observers through the mass media.

For early voting, the voter, on the basis of an application indicating the reason for absence on election day (vacation, business trip, travel abroad, etc.), receives a ballot from the relevant precinct election commission. In the presence of at least two members of the relevant precinct election commission, the voter signs for receipt of the ballot in the list of voters.

The ballot shall be filled in by the voter in a specially equipped booth or room for secret ballot.

The voter shall make a decision and leave the completed ballot paper in a closed envelope, which is kept in the safe of the relevant precinct election commission. At the place where the envelope is glued, two members of the precinct election commission sign, which shall be confirmed by the seal of the commission.
