Ballot Paper to include candidates’ photos
To make it easier for voters, especially the elderly, to identify the candidates they wish to vote for, candidates’ photos will be included in the ballot papers for the next General Election, ELD announced.
The new ballot papers will be larger to accommodate the photos.
Candidates’ photos on the ballot papers were introduced for the first time at the 2011 Presidential Election, garnering generally positive public feedback.
Other format changes to help voters mark their choices clearly include white boxes against a darkened background, and wider gaps between the boxes to mark "X" to prevent voters from marking across boxes of different rows.
Details of the format changes will be made known closer to Polling Day of the General Election.
