Article 37
 

A heading at the top of a ballot must specify that it concerns municipal elections in a specific municipality, their date and year.

Where restricted proportional elections take place, the candidate lists shall be printed side by side in a row in the order of their letters, with each list allowed a space about 6 cm in width and a length depending upon the full legal number of candidates. Under the letter of each list, which must be large and clearly legible and stand above the middle of the list, the names of the candidates shall be listed in the correct order, together with their position and residence if considered necessary for purposes of identification. The lists shall be separated by bold vertical lines and a space of at least ½ cm in front of the names on each list.

Indication shall be given for each list as to what political or other organisation it represents by printing, in clear type below the list letter and above the names on the list: List … (name of the political or other organisation).
