The Central Election Committee has issued new directives to all polling station secretaries to streamline the voting process and prevent unnecessary delays, following reports of long queues at many locations. Among the key instructions is to allow voters to cast their ballots even if their identification cards have expired, provided the photo is clear enough for identification. The committee also clarified that the next voter can enter the voting area and approach the booth while the previous voter is still completing their process with the secretary, aiming to maintain a continuous flow and reduce waiting times. Polling station secretaries are instructed to ensure the signing of ballot envelopes is done efficiently without causing delays. Special emphasis was placed on the rights of voters with disabilities, who must be given immediate priority and allowed to enter the voting room with an assistant if needed, in accordance with the law.
