| 1. Ballot format. Ballots furnished for elections must be |
| printed in a single-sided format and have the titles of offices |
| and the names of candidates arranged in vertical columns. The |
| office title with a statement of the number of candidates to be |
| voted for must be printed above the names of the candidates for |
| that office. The names of candidates must be printed in the |
| order provided by law. In all except primary and nonpartisan |
| elections, the party designation of each candidate must be |
| printed following or below the candidate's name, in bold type. |
| The number of columns and the length of the ballot may be |
| adjusted as is necessary to accommodate all of the offices, |
| candidates and write-in spaces constituting the total slate for |
| that election. The Secretary of State shall determine the colors |
| of paper on which each ballot must be printed. Symbols such as |
| arrows or ovals may be used to indicate the voter's choice of |
| candidate for each office for which the voter must either |
| complete an arrow or completely fill in an oval to indicate the |
| voter's choice. |
