Overview
- Ballot papers will now carry colour photographs of candidates, with faces occupying three-fourths of a 2 cm by 2.5 cm image area for clearer identification.
- Serial numbers for candidates and NOTA will appear in the international form of Indian numerals in bold, set at font size 30 for visibility.
- Names of all candidates and the NOTA option will be printed in a single, uniform font type and size in the same language(s) as the official candidate list.
- Ballot papers will use 70 GSM stock, with pink sheets of specified RGB values for Assembly elections and white sheets for parliamentary polls.
- Layout and production are standardized: a maximum of 15 names per sheet with NOTA last, constituency details printed in English, and printing preferred at government or semi-government presses with guarded use of private presses.
