277,646 PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR THE FIRST TIME
Voters will put two separate ballot papers of their choice for the president and deputies in the same envelope and put them in the ballot box.
First, the counting and listing of the ballot papers for the presidential election will be done.
The invalidity of one election type in the ballot papers that come out of the envelope will not necessitate the invalidation of the other. If a "Yes" or "Preference" seal is not affixed to more than one alliance, a party or candidate that is not in the same alliance, the votes will be invalid.
Tearing or tearing the ballot paper in such a way that its integrity is destroyed, printing any special sign, name, signature stamp or fingerprint on the ballot, other than the seal or instead of the seal, will also invalidate the vote.
In addition, if the ballot paper is clearly scribbled, scratched or marked, or if there is any item in the envelope that serves as a sign, the votes will be deemed invalid.
