Each ballot paper tells you how many times you may vote on that paper. Do not vote for more than that number. Mark your choice(s) with a cross (×). Put no other mark on the ballot paper, or your vote may not be counted.\n3 Fold the ballot papers in two. Show the official mark to the presiding officer, but do not let anyone see your vote. Put the ballot papers in the ballot box and leave the polling station.\n4 If by mistake you spoil a ballot paper, show it to the presiding officer and ask for another one.\nCYFARWYDDYD I BLEIDLEISWYR\n1 Pan roir papur pleidleisio i chi gwnewch yn siŵr iddo gael ei stampio â'r marc swyddogol.\n2 Ewch i un o'r cabanau. Mae pob papur pleidleisio yn dweud wrthych sawl gwaith y cewch bleidleisio ar y papur hwnnw. Peidiwch â phleidleisio dros fwy na'r nifer hwnnw. Marciwch eich dewis(iadau) â chroes (×). Peidiwch â rhoi unrhyw farc arall ar y papur pleidleisio, neu fe all na chaiff eich pleidlais ei chyfrif.\n3 Plygwch y papurau pleidleisio yn ddau. Dangoswch y marc swyddogol i'r swyddog llywyddu, ond peidiwch â gadael i neb weld eich pleidlais. Rhowch y papurau pleidleisio yn y blwch pleidleisiau a mynd allan o'r orsaf bleidleisio.\n4 Os bydd i chi drwy gamgymeriad ddifetha papur pleidleisio, dangoswch ef i'r swyddog llywyddu a gofyn am un arall.”.",
