Parliamentary elections of Iceland voting at the Honorary Consulate
The pre-election voting process will be as follows.
When you arrive to your Honorary Consul, be prepared to state your name and present your identification documents to prove your identity.
You will receive a ballot paper, an envelope for the ballot paper, a letter of conveyance, and a large envelope to contain everything.
Cast your vote in private by writing or stamping the alphabetical letter denoting the political party you wish to vote for on the ballot paper. You also have the right to indicate a preference regarding the order of the candidates on the list you are voting for. This can be done by writing down their names in your order or preference and numbering them.
If you wish to formally reject a specific candidate write that candidates name down and then strike it out.
When you are done, place the ballot paper in the ballot envelope and seal it.
You must then sign the letter of conveyance in the presence of the Honorary Consul who shall witness the vote by countersigning the letter and stamping it if appropriate.
The sealed ballot envelope, together with the letter of conveyance, must be placed in the postal envelope, which must then be carefully sealed.
When you are abroad, it is your responsibility for ensuring that your votes are delivered to Iceland. The Honorary Consul is, however, obliged if you wish, to post the letter, provided that you pay the postage fee.
Such posted votes must reach the electoral commission, or a polling ward in the constituency where you are registered voter, before the polling station closes on Election Day.

"I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to the law firm Holubová advokáti s.r.o. for their professional yet genuinely compassionate approach in an exceptionally difficult period of my life.
The firm successfully represented me in a dispute with my health insurance company concerning reimbursement for a medication that enables me to actively fight an oncological illness and has already begun to show positive treatment results.
From the very outset, I felt a high level of expertise, thoroughness, and a genuine interest not only in the case itself but also in the person behind it. All legal steps were explained clearly and comprehensibly, and the communication was factual, calm, and supported by clear arguments. In a time of great uncertainty, this provided me with a much-needed sense of reassurance and trust.
My special and greatest thanks go to JUDr. Klára Dvořáková, whose commitment, precision, and empathy meant more to me than can be conveyed in just a few sentences. Her work was not only highly professional but also marked by human sensitivity and deep respect for the seriousness of the situation.
I can wholeheartedly recommend this law firm to anyone seeking top-tier legal assistance combined with a truly human approach."

"We express our recommendations for the law firm Holubova Advokati.
Holubova Advokati was able to resolve a project for us with confidence, composure, and perseverance that German experts had deemed hopeless.
About 80 years ago, my grandparents and my father had to leave their home. The property has now been returned to our family through the inheritance that was initiated, and thanks to the excellent work of the law firm.
During the two-and-a-half-year negotiations, there were no language problems; everyone was always well informed about the current status.
Keep up the good work, everyone."
