A register of persons entitled to vote is kept for each polling district. The voters' register is the basis for the proper conduct of the election. It ensures that only eligible voters participate in the election and cast their vote only once. It is drawn up on the 42nd day before the election by registering ex officio all eligible voters who are registered with their main residence in the population register in the electoral area. If you have acquired the right to vote after the 42nd day before the election by moving to the electoral area, you will also be registered ex officio. You will receive a voter's notification upon entry in the voters' register.

However, if only one move takes place within the municipality, the entry remains in the voters' register of the original electoral district. However, if a move takes place to another district in which a local councillor or local leader is elected, you will also be entered in the voters' register ex officio.

You are a returnee if you:

• do not yet have a main residence in the electoral area,
• have lost your right to vote because you have moved away from the electoral area, or
• have changed their main residence and return to the electoral area and re-establish their main residence.

They are entered in the voters' register ex officio when they move in. You will be informed about the registration by means of a voter's notification.

Registration takes place up to the 2nd day before the election.
