The ballot papers printed for units of local self-government where at least 20 per cent of the citizens speak an official language other than Macedonian and which contain all information in Macedonian and the languages of such communities could be redesigned so that ordinal numbers of candidates (or candidate lists) are only included once, rather than separately for each language. This would simplify the ballot layout, increase the secrecy of the vote, and might reduce invalid ballots.
