Would it not be simpler to have a matrix of candidates and preferences? Colour
in the '1' box beside your first preference, the '2' beside your second etc.
People would be well familiar with it from filling in Lotto slips. Machine
could tell you immediately if it's not filled in correctly.

Stickers sound a little messy to me.
