Current through Register No. 12, March 21, 2024

(a) All ballots provided for voting machines and devices shall be printed in black ink on clear, white material, of such size as will fit the ballot label frame, and in as plain, clear type as the space will reasonably permit. The face of the ballot and/or ballot label shall be completely covered with a protective covering of smooth, hard, transparent material so that it shall be impossible to alter the face of the ballot label without removing or breaking such covering.

(b) At the state general election the ballots and/or ballot labels shall have at the top of each column or on the left side of the row, whichever is applicable, the name of the political party by which the candidates in such column were nominated. Above the party designation shall be placed an emblem or device designating the political party assigned to that column. The ballot shall also be so designed that the voter may vote a straight ticket.

(c) For a state or presidential primary election the name of the political party shall appear but not the party emblem.
