The ballot paper lists every candidate standing for election in alphabetical order. It also contains their address and the name of the party they represent – if any.
Party names must be registered with the Electoral Commission, which can reject names it feels can be confused with other official parties. Candidates do not need any official party affiliation.
If a party has an emblem registered with the commission, that may appear on the ballot paper.
In general elections, you can select only one candidate. You should mark your choice with an X, using the pencil provided in the polling booth.
