The main day of the election of the President of the Republic and the referendum on the amendment of Article 12 of the Constitution is May 12, Sunday. The doors of the polling station will open at 7 a.m. and voters will be waiting until 8 p.m. in the evening.
On election Sunday, it will be possible to vote in the presidential election and the referendum in any polling station, in total – 1895 places throughout Lithuania.
All voters in Lithuania can also use the possibility of voting in advance.
On May 7-9, from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., it will be possible to vote in all 60 municipalities.
Voters can vote at any early voting location, regardless of where they have declared their place of residence.
Additional early voting locations are in the capital
Vilnius City Municipality will be waiting for voters who will vote in advance in four places: Vilnius City Municipality building (Konstitucijos pr. 3), Vilnius University Business School (Saulėtekio al. 22), A. Sakharov Square near the Press House and Lukiškiu Square in the city center.
Vilnius District Municipality will invite voters to two polling places, in the municipality building (Rinktinės St. 50) and Nemenčinės Culture Center (Švenčionių St. 12, Nemenčinės).
Important message for the people of Kaunas
Due to the planned exercises in the Kaunas city municipality building (Laisvės al. 96), voting will not be organized in advance.
Voters who want to vote in Kaunas will be welcomed at the building of Vytautas the Great University (28 S. Daukant st.) and at the Kaunas District Municipality building (371 Savanorių pr.).
In Klaipėda, voting will take place in the Klaipėda City Municipality Building (11 Liepų St.) until election day.
The members of the election commissions will go to the voters
Voters who cannot come to polling stations for valid reasons will be given the opportunity to vote at their locations.
On May 8-10, voting will be organized in hospitals, social care and welfare institutions, military units and places of execution of sentences.
On May 10-11, members of the election commissions will organize voting in the houses of voters. Voters with disabilities, people who care for them at home, people unable to work due to illness and voters aged 70 and over can vote at home.
Voting in Lithuanian diplomatic missions abroad is organized at the time set by each mission. For the exact voting hours, voters are asked to inquire at the embassy or consulate where they wish to come to vote.
It is necessary to have an identity document
CEC reminds that the most important voter’s document when going to vote is the personal identification document: passport or personal identification card. Other documents issued in the Republic of Lithuania that contain the voter’s photo and personal identification number are also suitable: driver’s license, diplomatic passport, etc.
On election day, in order to avoid queuing, voters are recommended to come during the morning voting hours, from 7 to 9 in the morning, when there are least people at the polling stations.
The CEC says it understands voters’ desire to celebrate voting, but strongly requests voters to avoid taking pictures of completed ballots and publicizing them on social networks. Voters are encouraged to keep their ballots secret at least until the polls close and the votes are counted.
It is safe to celebrate on social networks that a voter is going to vote or has already voted (without mentioning for whom) – this is not considered election campaigning.
The CEC kindly asks the voters to come to the aid of the election organizers – to let the elderly, the disabled, pregnant women or families with small children who have come to the polling stations to the front of the queue.
