Preparation and delivery of ballot papers 

1 The cantons shall prepare ballot papers for all the electoral lists, which each contain pre-printed details of the list designation, any electoral list combination, the reference number and candidate information (as a minimum the surnames, first names and place of residence), as well as ballot papers that are not pre-printed.

If the canton prepares vote recording vouchers instead of ballot papers, persons eligible to vote shall also receive a summary of the details of each of the candidates and of the electoral list designations, and of any list combinations and list sub-combinations.

2 The cantons shall arrange for a complete set of all ballot papers to be delivered to each person eligible to vote at least three weeks and no more than four weeks prior to the polling day.

3 The signatories may obtain additonal pre-printed ballot papers at cost price from the cantonal chancelleries.
