00:00 Belgium is headed for a triple election with voters casting ballots to elect a new federal parliament,
00:05 regional parliaments and members of the European Parliament all on the same day.
00:10 Millions of paper election ballots are also already being boxed up and shipped out across the country.
00:15 The INI group is responsible for printing and preparing about 8 million ballots for the elections.
00:20 Yes, we hope that it will always be a paper ballot or even more in the future.
00:27 We saw the example of the Netherlands where they came back to paper voting.
00:32 I think in Wallonia they also came back to paper because many of the people are quite afraid of the digital way,
00:41 that there might be some infractions in one or another way.
00:44 There's also the pricing issue which the paper, working with the paper is cheaper than the digital way to do this.
00:53 Flemish nationalists are predicted to win what the country calls the mother of all elections.
00:57 In Wallonia, the French-speaking southern half, social democrats and the far left have dominated the campaign.
01:03 Elections will be held on June 9th.
