Giving information, the Election Commission said that the names of the candidates will be written on each ballot paper. Voters will be able to write their preferred vote in Urdu or English while in case of writing priority in both Urdu and English, the vote will be considered rejected.
The instructions said that even if the numbers were written in words, the vote would be considered rejected, while any candidate would be rejected even if he cast two different preference votes and each candidate would be given one preference vote.
