Not only the members of general public but the Election Commission (EC) itself has acknowledged that people might have confusion about the ballot papers and the right way to vote in the upcoming local level polls.

In a bid to acquaint people with electoral symbols ahead of the May 14 polling, the Election Commission on Thursday started imparting voter education. The voter education will continue at 6,642 polling centres until Saturday (May 13).

The EC has mobilised volunteers to demonstrate voters how to stamp on an election symbol on model ballot papers.

The ballot papers are large and a voter has to vote for seven candidates to elect their local representatives. But it is entirely for the voters to decide if they want to pick only a select few candidates—not all seven candidates.
