Central Election Commission (CEC) Chairman Arnis Cimdars calls on voters who do not reside in the registered place of residence until 8.marta to declare their actual residence.

This is important because the European Parliament (EP) and the municipal elections, unlike the parliamentary elections and referendum voter records used to register voters. In these elections, each voter will be included in a certain election precinct voter list, which correspond to the registered voter's residence in the Population Register 90 days before polling day. This year it is 8.marts.

In addition, it must be remembered that the municipal elections voters have the right to vote only in their local government, where their residence is registered 90 days before election day, or their local government, as they belong to a validly registered real estate.

CEC in cooperation with the research firm "Data Services Ltd." in January's turnout shows that the registered place of residence in Latvia do not live close to a fifth part, or 18 percent of voters. Compared with 2004, when, in preparation for the EP elections, there was a similar survey, the number of voters whose actual and registered place of residence is different, an increase of four percent.

The most registered voters do not live in the place of residence between the ages of 18 to 34 years old, unemployed, and voters in Kurzeme. In turn, the declared place of residence is also the most effective resident voters with basic education, voters who are older than 55 years, as well as voters Zemgale.
