European elections Implementation
Service description
You cast your vote on an official ballot paper. You will receive this from the electoral board when you enter the polling station. Take the ballot paper to the polling booth. There you mark the ballot paper and fold it so that your marking cannot be recognised.
Then go to the table of the electoral board. On request, you hand over your polling card or identify yourself. The clerk of the electoral board will then check whether you are on the electoral roll. If this is the case, you can put your ballot paper in the ballot box. The clerk will then note that you have cast your vote.Procedure
