– (1) The model, size, and printing conditions of the ballot papers shall be set up by Government Decision within 5 days of the settling of the reference date, upon proposal of the Permanent Electoral Authority and of the Ministry of Administration 30 and Interior.


(2) The ballot papers shall be printed in letters of the same size, font, and ink in as many copies as the number of voters entered on the permanent and special electoral rolls, plus 10% extra. The printing of ballot papers shall be provided by the Ministry of Administration and Interior which is held responsible that all the necessary ballot papers are printed at least 10 days prior to the reference date. The ballot papers shall be stapled.


(3) The paper ballot model shall be presented by the Ministry of Administration and Interior to the members of the Central Electoral Bureau at least 10 days prior to the reference date. For the presentation of the paper ballot model there shall also be invited delegates of the political parties, political alliances and electoral alliances, and organisations of citizens belonging to national minorities that take part in the elections and have no representatives in the Central Electoral Bureau, as well as independent candidates. The operation of presentation of the paper ballot model shall be recorded in a minute which is signed by all the present persons. In the event of objections to it, they shall be formulated on the spot, as further objections are not to be taken into account. The members of the Central Electoral Bureau and the deputed delegates shall be entitled to ask the Ministry of Administration and Interior the alteration of the model and the correct printing of ballot papers in the event the name of candidates, the electoral sign, denomination of the political parties, political alliances and electoral alliances, and organisations of citizens belonging to national minorities are incorrectly printed or are not visible.


(4) At the written request of the political parties, political alliances and electoral alliances, and organisations of citizens belonging to national minorities that take part in the elections, as well as of independent candidates, the Central Electoral Bureau shall issue for each of them a ballot paper stamped and annulled by the president thereof.*
