For eligible voters on election day, Sunday, 8 February 2026, remember to bring valid identification documents to present to officials at the polling station.

Additionally, expired ID cards are legally acceptable for identity verification during the election. However, photographs or screenshots of the ID card displayed on mobile phones cannot be used as substitutes.
