Election Commission Clarifies Polling Station Staff Voting Rights

On February 5th, 2024, the Election Commission (Election Commission) released a news document addressing concerns about polling station committee members and security staff who are assigned to polling stations different from their voting district. The commission clarified that these staff members can exercise their voting rights without affecting their official duties. For parliamentary elections, staff can vote at the polling station where they are working, as long as it is within their original electoral district. They must show their appointment order to the polling station committee before voting. The commission confirmed that all personnel involved in election and referendum management retain their legal right to vote according to specified guidelines.
