(b)different fonts and sizes of character may be used for—
(i)surnames,
(ii)other names,
(iii)addresses, or

but fonts and sizes of character shall not otherwise vary as between the surnames, other names, addresses and other particulars of any of the candidates;
(c)the space allocated to the emblem of each candidate whose request for the appearance on the ballot paper of his party’s registered emblem (or one of them) has been duly made shall be the same as that allocated to the emblem of every other such candidate;
(d)where an emblem is to be printed against a candidate’s particulars it shall be printed between the column where the candidate’s number on the ballot paper is printed and the column in which the candidate’s particulars are printed;
(e)on the back of the ballot paper the number shall be printed in small characters; and
(f)the instruction referred to in paragraph 1(c) shall be printed in large capital letters.
