Either paper or electronic ballots shall be used in the election in civil associations and shall specify the name of the association, election session, position title, and date of election. The board of directors of an association (a preparatory office for an association under establishment) shall choose one of the following three methods for preparing the ballots:1. List the names of all persons elected on a ballot for electors to choose from.2. Mark out blank spaces according to the number of people to be elected for electors to fill in.3. List the candidate reference on a ballot for electors to choose from and leave blank spaces equal to the number of people to be elected for electors to fill in.The candidates in the reference list referred to in the third subparagraph of the preceding paragraph may be proposed by the board of directors, according to the constitutions of civil associations or determined by the member’s (member representative’s) congress and taking gender equality into account; or registered with their civil associations by the members (member representatives), the number of people should be the same or more than the number of people to be elected. If the registration is less than the number of people to be elected, the board of directors (a preparatory office for an association under establishment) shall resolve to nominate members (member representatives) to make up for the difference; however, people to be elected are not limited to the candidates in the reference list.Ballots used for recall in civil associations shall be either paper or electronic and shall specify the name of the association, position title, and date of recall. The names of people to be recalled shall be printed on a ballot for the recall elector to choose from.
