"Voters will cast only one combined ballot that counts for both the federal and provincial elections."

This claim is false. Nepal’s electoral system for the March 5 polls requires each voter to cast four separate ballots: one for a first-past-the-post candidate to the House of Representatives, one for a proportional representation party list for the House, one for a provincial FPTP candidate and one for a provincial PR list. Official explainers and legal provisions make it clear that federal and provincial elections are held concurrently but on distinct ballot papers. Any graphic or statement suggesting a single combined ballot misrepresents both the legal framework and the arrangements described by the Election Commission.
