About this statute

Each commune sector must have a voter register, and the Minister responsible for Local Government sets its form, how it is completed, and the date it starts being entered. People who qualify as voters must be registered in the sector roll of the commune where they live. The article also defines domicile and allows certain workers and religious persons to register where they principally live for work reasons if they show proof. A person registered on the electoral roll is issued a voter card, and the Minister responsible for Interior sets the card’s model. At the provisional closing of the roll, as determined by the Minister responsible for Interior, the communal councillor must send the roll register to the Communal Council. Citizens may appeal to the Communal Council about being entered or not entered on the electoral register, except after the provisional closure of the register.
