The joint ballots are packed in packs of 400, stamped, numbered and sent to each constituency by the Supreme Board of Elections along with the sufficient number of envelopes.

After receiving the packages District Electoral Boards take notes on the minutes in order to record which package has been dispatched to which polling station committee with their respective identification numbers.

The Polling Station Committee opens the packages on the voting day before voting procedure is ignited, and seals all of the ballots with the seal of Polling Station Committee. These ballots are shown to the members of the board, to the observers and to the voter in order to clarify that there is not any kind of mark on them, before they are given to the voter who is present for voting.

The Provincial Electoral Boards post up the names and the surnames of the definite candidates of the political parties, in the form of visible lists according to their order in the voting area and in the polling station area. (The last sentence is abolished: 21st Article of Law 4125, on 27 October 1995.)
