The Central Electoral Board has issued a decision this Friday to make clear the best way to act if there are an absence of individuals to represent a polling stationTo declare {that a} substitute from one polling station turns into a part of one other, you could first ask him to not go away the premises till instructed to take action

The Central Electoral Board (JEC) has warned that attainable vacancies on the polling stations for the final elections on Sunday, July 23, may be crammed with the primary voters to reach or with substitutes from close by polling stations.

This has been acknowledged by the JEC in a decision launched this Friday, two days earlier than the elections and by which it reminds the Zone Electoral Boards answerable for constituting the polling stations that if the current and alternate members of a polling station don’t attend, they have to “freely designate the individuals who will represent it”.

In this sense, the JEC remembers article 80.4 of the Organic Law of the General Electoral Regime (LOREG) which specifies that the primary voters who come to vote may very well be referred to as to these vacancies, though one other chance is that substitutes be chosen from different tables which will have been constituted in the identical electoral school or in one other close by one.

The JEC already agreed to this in one other 2021 decision by which it factors out that it may very well be accomplished “supplied that the zone boards talk prematurely to the substitutes of any polling station that they have to stay within the polling stations till they’re instructed to take action.”

If a voter is elected to a polling station aside from the one to which he was initially assigned, he must train his proper to vote on the polling station by which he’s registered, guaranteeing that the polling station he is part of has two members in the course of the voting interval.

The JEC will talk this decision to the Provincial Electoral Boards in order that they’ll ahead it to the Zone Electoral Boards.
