18 Ballot papers
(1) Subject to this regulation, ballot papers for an election are to be prepared and printed in a form approved by the Electoral Commissioner.
(2) The order in which the candidates' names are to be printed on the ballot papers is to be determined by lot.
(3) A ballot paper is to –
(a) have a blank box next to the name of each candidate; and
(b) contain directions to the effect that the elector will be taken to have cast a vote for a candidate if he or she places an "X" in the box next to that candidate's name, and that the elector may, by that means, vote for as many candidates as the number to be elected (but not more).
