Presidential Elections 2030 In Addition To Regular Elections, The Contract Covers Any Other Elections That Will Be Delivered During The Contract Period. Falling Into The Contract Period Is Determined By The Date Of The Election Day (In The Case Of The Presidential Election, The 1St Election). Such Non-Regular Elections Can Be, For Example, Presidential Elections Held In The Middle Of The Term Due To The Death Or Permanent Disability Of The President, Or Early Parliamentary Elections Ordered By The President Of The Republic, Or Elections That Are To Be Renewed Due To An Appeal By A Court Decision. In Addition To Elections, The Agreement Also Covers Similar Procurements In State Advisory Referendums. Section 21 Of The Election Act Regulates The Notification Card. Other Election-Related Information Prepared By The Ministry Of Justice Can Be Attached To The Notification Card Mailing. Basically, In All Types Of Elections, In Addition To The Notification Card Magazine Itself, The List Of Pre-Voting Locations In The Recipients Neighborhood And An Information Appendix About The Institution To Be Elected In The Elections Are Attached To The Shipment. In Addition, Two Notification Cards Are Sent To Each Person Entitled To Vote In The Presidential Election, One For Each (Possible) Election Of The Two-Round Election. Other Attachments Are Also Possible, For Example, In The Municipal Elections Organized During The Pandemic Caused By The Covid19 Virus, There Was An Extra Attachment Page About Health Safety In Voting. The Minimum Configuration For Sending A Notice Card Is 3 Sheets (Notice Card, One Sheet For The List Of Advance Voting Places, An Information Sheet About The Body To Be Elected), The Maximum Size Of The Shipment Could Be (Estimated) 7 Sheets. The Purpose Of The Notice Card Is To Provide Information About The Approaching Elections And The Recipients Right To Vote In Them, As Well As To Give The Recipient The Opportunity To Request Additional Information From The Authority In Good Time And, If Necessary, A Correction, If He Considers That Something Shown On The Notice Card Is Related To His Right To Vote That The Information Is Incorrect. In Some Rarer Situations, The Notification Card Can Also Be Used To Facilitate Voting Delivery, But It Is Never A Prerequisite For Voting, Nor Is It Sufficient Proof Of Identity And The Right To Vote At The Polling Station. Notification Cards Are Drawn Up On Forms According To The Formula Approved By The Ministry Of Justice (Vaalil § 193). For Paper Mailings Of Notice Cards, Their Manufacturer Produces Windowed Envelopes With Election-Specific Printing, And Takes Care Of Peeling The Mailings. Regarding The Regular Elections Of The Competitive Contract Period, Estimates Of The Amount Of Electronic And Paper Letter Mail Are Presented In The Appendix Of This Announcement. The Stated Estimates Of The Distribution Of The Form And Method Of Sending Notification Cards Have Been Estimated According To The Fact That The Legislation On The Priority Of Digital Official Communication Will Be Completed And Its Application Will Begin In Spring 2026. Request For Information And Market Survey The Request For Information Section Of This Announcement Contains Questions For Potential Bidders Interested In Procurement. With The Request For Information, We Want To Map The Views Of Market Participants, E.G. On Whether It Is Appropriate To Tender The Service Package In One Or Two Parts (Production And Distribution Separately). Based On The Responses Received To The Request For Information, At Dvvs Discretion, More Detailed Bilateral Discussions Can Also Be Held On The Specifications Of The Procurement And/Or Those Who Responded To The Request For Information Can Be Asked For Comments On The Preliminary Request For Tender Materials Before The Actual Bidding Process.
