The section mandates that voters place a marked paper ballot (hlasovací lístek) into an official envelope, with voting accomplished by hand-marking (circling ordinal numbers of candidates). This establishes a legal requirement for a hand-marked paper ballot, which constitutes a voter-verifiable paper trail.

“Volič vloží do úřední obálky 1 hlasovací lístek. Na hlasovacím lístku, který vkládá do úřední obálky, může zakroužkováním pořadového čísla nejvýše u 4 kandidátů uvedených na témže hlasovacím lístku vyznačit, kterému z kandidátů dává přednost.”
