The Election Commission has decided to print 20 million ballot papers for the local level elections. 

Speaking at a press conference organized in the Election Commission on Thursday, Assistant Spokesperson Surya Prasad Aryal said that the poll body has decided to print 10 percent more ballot papers than the voters. 

The EC has already bought papers worth Rs 1.1 million to print the ballot papers. 

He said that the Janak Education Material Centre will print the ballot papers. 

The Commission has estimated that there will be 17.8 million voters in his election. 

The final voter list, however, will be made public on March 27, Aryal said.
