# The tricolour 'SI' ballot of the plebiscite of 25 March 1934: 'Approvate voi la lista dei deputati designati dal Gran Consiglio?'

Folded ballot printed in the green, white and red of the national flag, with a fasces and the question 'Approvate voi la lista dei deputati designati dal Gran Consiglio Nazionale del Fascismo?' above a large 'SI'. The national colours and the Roman fasces are put on the Yes paper itself, so casting it is made to look like an act of belonging to the nation.

The top of the sheet is torn, so the first word of the gumming instruction is cut off. 'SI' is printed without the accent, as on the ballot.
