Ballot paper to be 2 ft long

08 Oct 2019

This year's presidential poll ballot paper is to be 2 ft long, according to the Election Commission. This is due to a record number of candidates who have come forward to contest the presidential elections this year. 35 candidates will be contesting at the forthcoming presidential Polls. Meanwhile, the cash deposits of candidates who withdrew from the presidential race will be returned, the Election Commission said. According to the Polls body, cash deposits placed by the candidates are retained if they fail to obtain more than 12.5% of the votes in the Election. 6 out of the 41 candidates who placed their deposits for the presidential polls last week did not hand in nominations yesterday.
