Chapter 7
 

To arrange a vote the voters shall for each kind of election they wish to participate in


1. take one ballot paper,


2. insert the ballot paper into a vote envelope without folding it, and


3. seal the vote envelope.


Voters who wish to cast a vote for a specific person shall, on the ballot paper, mark this in the special space for a personal vote shown beside the candidate that they would prefer to see elected.


If a voter enters a candidate on a ballot paper for a party that has not registered its party denomination or notified candidates according to Chapter 2, the voter shall be deemed to have cast a personal vote for the candidate. If several candidates have been entered on such a ballot paper, the voter shall be deemed to have cast a personal vote for the first candidate.


Ballot papers and vote envelopes may not be furnished with unauthorised marks.
