Paragraph 48
 

 An amendment to article 48(3) slightly changes the process for deciding the sequence of electoral contestants on the ballot. It seems that the sequence is still according to the time the nomination is filed, but for nominations received on the same day it is stated that the sequence within that group is decided by lots. The addition to article 44(2) specifies that there needs to be at least 24 hours between the announcement of time and place for receiving the nominations and the start of receiving such documents. This, together with the lots, seems to provide for fair arrangements for the placement on the ballot where parties are provided for the same possibilities for getting a good placement on the ballot.
