• The form bears the names and surnames of the candidates for the office of President of the Region, written within a specific rectangle, alongside which are shown, enclosed in a larger rectangle, the mark of the list group or the marks of the list groups gathered in a coalition with which the candidate is connected
• lines are placed next to each mark to express any preferences.

2. Each voter can, by choice:  

• vote for a candidate for the office of President of the Region
• vote for a candidate for the office of President of the Region and for one of the lists connected to it, by tracing a mark on the mark of one of these lists
• vote separately for a candidate for the office of President of the Region and for one of the other lists not connected to it, by drawing a mark on the mark of one of these lists ("separate vote")
• vote in favor of only one list. In this case the vote is considered also expressed in favor of the candidate President of the Region connected to it.
