1. A ballot is prepared.

   A ballot starts with line "BEGIN" and ends with line "END__".

   It is like this:

    BEGIN:b03:KabcdZ:FirstName_LastName:email@address.somewhere:SVP-reply
    b03:KabcdZ:[ ] Yes, the Election Rules should be adopted.
    b03:KabcdZ:[ ] No, the Election Rules should not be adopted.
    b03:KabcdZ:[ ] I abstain.
    END__:b03:KabcdZ:FirstName_LastName:email@address.somewhere:SVP-reply
   
   ["Election Rules for the DNSO GA V0.2" attached]
