Kathmandu. The Election Commission has made public sample ballots for various districts and constituencies for the House of Representatives election scheduled for Falgun 21.
The Commission has released sample ballots for districts under all seven provinces. Separate ballot designs have been prepared for districts with only one constituency and for those with more than one constituency.
According to the Commission, the ballot size has also been determined based on the number of candidates.
