How to Identify Your U.D.P. Candidate

Tamai assured that having multiple red boxes on the ballot paper shouldn’t be an issue, even for first-time voters. She explained that each candidate will have a unique number next to their name. So, once you find your candidate, just mark an X beside their name. It’s that simple.

“One of the things that I try to advise on, and especially when it comes to voters, I know that traditionally people have been saying, well, in Belize, we actually vote by colors. And yes, that is true, but at the same time, every single candidate has a number assigned to them. So let’s say, for example, you have four candidates. You will see number one, two, three, four. And so,  you could tell persons to say, okay, vote for number, whatever number on the ballot you want them to mark. The ballot also has their names, and so, it has a color as well. And what they can do is to mark one X.”
