(1) There are two types of ballot papers. The pink one is for the election of Sarpanch of your Panchayat Halqa and the white one is for election of Panch of your Panch Constituency.

(2) The persons whose names are printed on these ballot papers sent herewith are candidates at the above elections. Record your vote on each of the ballot papers by placing clearly a mark opposite the name of the candidate to whom you wish to give your vote. The marks should be so placed as to indicate clearly and beyond doubt to which candidate you are giving your vote. If the mark is so placed as to make it doubtful to which candidate you have given your vote, your vote will be invalid. The number of members to be elected as Sarpanch of the Halqa is one and also the number of members to be elected as Panch for your Panch Constituency is also one. Thus you have only one vote for Sarpanch election and one for Panch election. Accordingly, you should not vote for more than one candidate on one ballot paper. If you do so, your ballot paper will be rejected. Do not put your signature or write any word or any mark, sign or writing whatsoever on the ballot paper other than the mark required to record your vote.

(3) After you have recorded your vote on the ballot papers, place the ballot papers in smaller cover A, marked Form 'PMPB·3' sent herewith. close the cover and secure it by seal or otherwise.

[No. 32-8 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– which you are drawing your pension. If you are not registered anywhere but your name figures in the electoral roll the attestation may be obtained from a 1st Class Magistrate or a Gazetted Officer.

(6) You may take the declaration to the authorised officer and sign it in his presence after he has satisfied himself about your identity. The officer will attest your signature and return the declaration to you. You must not show your ballot paper to the attesting officer nor tell him how you have voted.

(7) If you are unable to mark the ballot papers and sign the declaration yourself in the manner indicated above for reasons of illiteracy, blindness or other infirmity, you are entitled to have your vote marked and declaration signed on your behalf by any of the authorised officer mentioned above. Such an officer will, at your request mark the ballot papers in your presence and in accordance with your wishes. He will also complete the necessary certificate in this behalf.

(8) After your declaration has been signed and your signature has been attested, place the declaration (Form 'PMPB-2') as well as the set of ballot paper(s) sealed in smaller Cover "A" (Form 'PMPB-3'), in the larger Cover "B" (Form 'PMPB-4').
