THE LAW
Slovak National Council
of 8 July 1971
on elections to national committees in the Slovak Socialist Republic
The Slovak National Council decided on this law:
Basic provisions
People working for national committees elect citizens committed to the cause of socialism, politically and professionally advanced with high moral qualities, capable of securing the tasks of national committees, and of organising and unifying the creative forces of workers in the pursuit of the universal development of socialist society.
Elections to national committees shall be held on the basis of the general, equal and direct voting rights by secret ballot.
(1) All citizens of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic who have reached 18 years of age on the day of the election, regardless of nationality, sex, religion, employment, residence time, social origin, property conditions and former activities, have the right to vote in national committees.
(2) However, citizens who have been legally deprived of legal capacity for mental illness or whose legal capacity has been omitted for such a failure are not entitled to vote. *)
(3) Citizens who are in jail or in custody do not vote.
Any citizen of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic who has the right to vote may be elected to the National Committee and reached the age of 21 on the day of the election.
Voting lists
Entry into the electoral list
(1) All citizens of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic who have the right to vote are included in the electoral list according to their place of residence.
(2) Citizens who, after drawing up a list of voters, acquire or lose their voting rights shall be added to or withdraw from the list of voters.
(3) Each voter can only be entered in one voter list.
Establishment of the electoral list
(1) The electoral lists are drawn up by the local national committee according to the constituencies.
(2) List of voters from members of the armed forces and armed corps; who are housed together, is assembled by their commander.
(3) If elections to national committees are held at the same time as those to other representative bodies, the electoral lists are common.
Unloading the electoral list
(1) No later than 30 days before the election date, the local national committee shall land electoral lists so that citizens can see them in official rooms. The local national committee shall inform citizens of the launch of the electoral lists in the usual manner.
(2) In municipalities where there are more than 5000 people on the electoral lists, the local national committee will arrange for a list of voters living in the house to be included in each house. The local national committee may also take such measures in a municipality with fewer than 5000 persons on the electoral lists.
Opposition procedure
(1) Any citizen may, orally or in writing, draw the local national committee's attention to errors and errors in the electoral list and propose corrections. The local national committee shall decide on the alert within 3 days and either make an appropriate correction in the electoral list or inform the complainant in writing of the reasons for the correction.
(2) If the application is rejected, the citizen may submit it to the district court competent under the constituency; the court is required to decide within 3 days. The provisions of the Civil Code on review of decisions of other institutions shall apply to proceedings. According to the court's decision, the local national committee will make a correction on the electoral list. Proceedings before a court shall not be subject to a judicial fee.
Election card
Voters who, from the time the electoral lists are unloaded to the election date, as well as voters who, for serious reasons, will not be able to vote in the constituency in whose electoral list they are registered, will issue a local national committee, at their request, and will delete them from the electoral list. The Voters' Card authorises the entry into the electoral list in another constituency, even if it was issued in the Czech Socialist Republic. The registration will be carried out by the local national committee of new residence (place of residence), on the day of the election by the District Election Commission. On entry, the voter card is withdrawn and added to the voter list.

(2) One Member shall be elected in each constituency.
(3) In a village of up to 3000 inhabitants, members of the local national committee may be elected according to local conditions either in one common constituency or in more than one constituency.

In doing so, it shall take into account in particular the size of the national committee's territorial area, the population and the economic and cultural development tasks.
(1) Election circuits for election to the national committee shall be determined by the national committee for which the election is intended; the list of constituencies shall be published no later than 55 days before the election date.
