Ballot papers to be used at polling sessions shall be prepared as follows: the electoral lists shall be printed side by side, in the order of their distinguishing letters of the alphabet. Each list shall be assigned a space c. 6 cm wide, the length depending on the full legal number of candidates. [A square box shall be printed in front of the letter of the alphabet for each list. The letter shall be large and distinguishable and be placed in the centre space above the list. Directly below the letter of the alphabet shall be the names of the candidates on the list, in correct order and with their occupational status or professional title and address, if this is considered necessary to distinguish them individually.]1)Lists shall be separated by vertical lines printed in bold, and there shall be a space of at least ½ cm across in front of the names on each list.


The name of the political organisation for which the list is put forward shall be stated; this shall be done by printing, in clear type beneath the letter of the alphabet on the list, but above the names of the candidates: List of ... (name of the political organisation).
