Article 98
 

1. The ballot papers for elections are prepared by the CEC. The ballot papers shall be of paper, with such colour, thickness or configuration elements that do not allow the reading of the vote on the reverse side, and they shall also feature security elements, in accordance with the provisions of a CEC normative act.
The ballot paper shall feature technical elements in the form of codes that identify the electoral zone, voting centre and other identification elements that cannot be read with a naked eye.


2. The ballot papers are produced in blocks without stubs. The serial number of the ballot papers’ block is noted on the document that accompanies the enwrapped block, in accordance with CEC specifications.


3. The names of the electoral subjects appear on the ballot paper according to a random order, as drawn from the lots. The logo, initials and name of the party Chair are placed next to the name of the party. Each subject listed on the ballot paper has a dedicated space for the voter to mark the vote.


4. Parties participating in an electoral coalition are listed one after the other on the section of the ballot paper dedicated to the electoral coalition. The name of the party, logo, initials and the name of the party Chair are placed for each of the political parties in a coalition. Each political party participating in an electoral coalition has a dedicated space for the voter to mark the vote. They are ranked randomly by drawing lots.


5. Immediately following the completion of the registration of multi-name list at the CEC or, as the case may be, at the CEAZ, the CEC organises the drawing of lots for obligations arising from this article. The rules for drawing lots shall be established by a normative act of the CEC.
