In addition, the same number of substitute members is elected.

 

V-ELECTION BALLOT BOX COMMITTEE AREAS

It has been deemed appropriate to establish 16 ballot box committees so that members can cast their votes in the Professional Committee and Assembly Membership elections of the Elazığ Chamber of Commerce and Industry. THE BALLOT BOXES WILL BE SET UP IN THE KOÇ PRIMARY SCHOOL BUILDING IN THE CITY CENTRE AND VOTING WILL TAKE PLACE THERE.

 

VI-BALLOT PAPER AND ENVELOPE, CASTING THE VOTE

Votes are cast by placing ballot papers, prepared in any manner, into envelopes bearing the seal of the district election board, which are given by the ballot box committee chair during voting and are the same for each professional group. In commodity exchanges where at least seven professional groups cannot be formed, the election of assembly members is carried out with sealed uniform envelopes. Votes are cast by being placed in the ballot box in the presence of the ballot box committee at the designated places on the announced day and time.

Voters are shown a closed voting booth so that they may write their ballot papers in secret or place ready-made and printed ballot papers into the envelope. It is compulsory to place the ballot papers into the envelope in this closed booth.

 

Those to be elected to regular and substitute membership are shown separately on the ballot papers. No sequence numbers are placed next to the names of the candidates; if placed, they do not indicate an order of preference. No measure restricting the voter's right to vote may be taken, nor may any obligation be imposed. No one may enter the closed voting booth unless a voter has come out of it. The voter who receives the envelope goes directly to the closed voting booth and places his or her vote in the envelope there. The envelope is taken back by the ballot box committee from a voter who does not enter the closed voting booth, takes the envelope but does not vote, or wishes to vote openly; this person is not allowed to vote, and the situation is recorded in minutes. Members of the ballot box committee who are eligible to vote cast their votes at the ballot boxes of the professional groups to which they belong.

 

Legal entities participate in the professional committee and assembly membership elections as legal entities. In the other elections, excluding the professional committee and assembly membership elections, it is not the legal entity that is elected, but the natural person representing the legal entity. In the professional committee and assembly membership elections, the title of the legal entity is written on the ballot papers, while in the other elections the name of the natural person representative of the legal entity is written on the ballot paper. On the ballot papers to be used in the Disciplinary Board membership election, it is compulsory to write the title of the legal entity together with the name of the natural person representing the legal entity. If only the title of the legal entity or only the name of the natural person representative of the legal entity is indicated on the ballot paper, these votes are considered invalid. Attention should be paid to these matters.

 

Natural persons participate in the elections in person. These persons may not have their rights to vote and to be elected exercised by proxy.

Natural persons representing legal entities are required to present, when voting, an authorisation certificate or registry certificate obtained from the trade registry directorate within the last ninety days, showing that their representatives have the authority to represent and carry out binding transactions in accordance with the registered articles of the legal entity they represent. A photocopy of the registry certificate presented is handed over to the chair of the ballot box committee where the vote is cast.

 

No fees or service charges are collected by the trade registry directorates for these documents certified for election purposes in the months in which chamber and commodity exchange organ elections are held, including the ninety days preceding the date of the organ elections. Members or delegates whose names are not written on the voter list may not vote. Votes are cast by being placed in the ballot box in the presence of the ballot box committee at the designated places on the announced day and time. Votes are cast after the identity of the voter is proven with a document issued by the chamber or an official institution and after the voter signs the place opposite his or her name on the list.
