Brasília - At a drawing yesterday at the Election Board (Tribunal Superior Eleitoral) it was decided that on the electronic voting machines to be used for the desarmament referendum on October 23, voters will mark "no" by typing "1", and "yes" by typing "2".

The question voters will be asked is: "Should the sale of firearms and ammunition be prohibited in Brazil?"
