The first document is entitled: Reforms for the completion of the current program and beyond and the second is Preliminary Debt Sustainability Analysis.

Whichever citizens reject the proposal by the three institutions vote: Not Approved / NO

Whichever citizens agree with the proposal by the three institutions vote: Approved /YES

Voters will have to put a cross in the correct box that corresponds with a “yes” or a “no” (make sure that the cross is + and not x as the vote would be rendered invalid).
