One staff was heard explaining the second question, "The second question asks whether you would like the Parliament to choose the PM. Mark an "x" in a left box if you would like to accept [the condition] and mark "x" in a right box if you wouldn’t like to accept it." But when asked by The Nation who in the Parliament would be authorized to select the PM if the topic is passed, the staff replied: "I don’t know." Polling staffs are assigned to provide instruction on voting ballot to voters as well as to explain and simplify questions on the ballot, especially the four-lined second question asking whether the Prime Minister should be chosen by the two-joint House and Senate members.
