2026 Election: What are the 3 ballots? Voters must know that tomorrow they will receive 3 ballots to vote for constituency MPs, party list MPs, and for the referendum. This also clarifies what to prepare before entering the voting booth and whether you need to bring your own pen.
On 7 February 2026, the Election Commission urged eligible voters not to forget to exercise their right on Sunday, 8 February 2026, because each vote matters and can change the country. On that day, besides voting for constituency and party list MPs, voters must also enter the booth to cast their referendum vote.
1. Constituency MP ballot (green ballot)
2. Party list MP ballot (pink ballot)
3. Referendum ballot (yellow ballot)
Voters must verify their eligibility before entering the booth by entering their 13-digit ID number via two methods:
1. Check eligibility to vote for MPs on the Department of Provincial Administration website by clickinghere.
2. Check eligibility to vote in the referendum on the Department of Provincial Administration website by clickinghere.
Voters do not need to bring their own pen as blue ballpoint pens are provided in the voting booth for everyone. However, if you are concerned about hygiene or prefer to use your own pen, it must be a blue ballpoint pen only. Using pens with other ink colors (such as red or black) is prohibited. Gel pens should be avoided because their ink may smudge or bleed through, potentially invalidating the ballot.
Polling stations will be open for voting from 08:00 to 17:00. Voters are reminded not to tear their ballots, as this is illegal, and to only mark an X in the candidate or party box. Any other marks or symbols will invalidate the ballot.
