Act 116 of 1954
168.568 Official primary election ballots; form; contents.
Sec. 568.
The official primary election ballots shall be prepared in the following form: At the top of each ballot shall be printed in large type, “Official primary election ballot”. Underneath the heading shall be printed the date of the election at which the ballot is to be used, together with a designation of the political subdivision, as county, district, city, ward, et cetera, in which it is to be used. Then shall follow, in bold-faced type, the name of the political party and vignette, below which shall appear the following instructions to electors: “Make a cross or a check mark in the square to the left of not more than the number of names for each office as may be indicated under the title of each office.” Under this heading shall appear the names of the candidates seeking nomination for various offices on the ticket of the political party. The order of the offices on the ballot shall be the same, as near as may be, as is required by law in making up the ballot used at general elections. The title of the office shall be immediately above the names of the candidate or candidates for the nomination of each office, and under the title the words “Vote for not more than,” followed by the word “one” or “two” or such other word as will designate the number of candidates for the nomination to the office that may be voted for. The names of the different candidates shall be separated from each other by a light-faced rule with a square at the left of each name. The spaces devoted to the candidates for nomination to different offices shall be separated by a black-faced rule so as to separate each office division distinctly. However, the board of election commissioners in any county or city may, if considered desirable, arrange the ballots with an identification numeral to be placed in the same space with the name of each of the candidates, with the identification numeral to be rotated with the name of the candidate when rotated, regardless of where the name may appear upon the ballot.
