    "content": "For example, if you want to elect only five, seven, eight or one Member, that is upon you. However, we will not encourage that because we will want our country to be fully represented. In accordance with Rule 17(6), a Senator who accidentally spoils a ballot paper while voting is in progress is entitled, on surrendering the spoilt ballot paper to the Clerks-at-the-Table, to be issued with another ballot paper in place of the spoilt one. You can have an additional ballot paper if yours is spoilt, on condition that you surrender the spoilt Ballot Paper. After marking the ballot paper, and while still in the booth, you must fold your Ballot Paper and proceed to deposit it in the ballot box and resume your seat. In the past, I have seen a lot of indiscretion around this issue. Some Senators want to mark their vote and announce to the whole world their decision. That violates the rules of secret balloting or voting. The vote is secret. This is not mlolongo or anything else. If you break the rule of secrecy, you are in violation of the law relating to this election. The other thing is once you finish, do not loiter around or move all over the place. We know the format of consultations here; you can always consult quietly in a dignified way. Do not hover around and cause commotion. Otherwise, the presiding officer and returning officer might exercise their discretion to declare you an unruly voter and throw you outside the polling station."
