Correction: the ballot currently underway is the FCD ballot.
So there is just this ballot and then the final yes/no FDIS ballot to go.

Also the draft currently under ballot is being openly distributed;
it is available at <http://osiris.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/open/n2737.htm>.

See also the SC22 (Programming Languages subcomittee) page
at <http://www.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22>, and the WG17 (Prolog) page at
and <http://www.sju.edu/~jhodgson/wg17/wg17web.html>.
