The electoral sheet (a duplicate of the voter identification in which the photography of the voter is included) is sent as part of a booklet along with other electoral materials to the officers of the polling table where the citizen is meant to attend and cast his/her vote;  the record of the names and surnames of the registered citizen and his/her parents, which is filed in alphabetical order at the Patronymic Register of the National office and the electoral offices; and the dactylographic file, containing the digital impressions of both hands of the registered citizen.
