directions to voter.  Unless a
major political party allows a nonpartisan voter to vote for its candidates:

1.  In a primary election, a member of the
election board for a precinct shall issue each nonpartisan voter a ballot with
a distinctive code and printed designation identifying it as a nonpartisan
ballot.

2.  If a mechanical voting system is used
in a primary election whereby votes are directly recorded electronically, a
member of the election board shall, if the clerk uses voting receipts, in
addition to the ballot described in subsection 1, issue the nonpartisan voter a
voting receipt with a printed designation identifying it as a nonpartisan
ballot.

3.  The member of the election board shall:

(a) Direct the nonpartisan voter to a mechanical
recording device containing a list of offices and candidates setting forth only
the nonpartisan ballot; or

(b) Direct the nonpartisan voter to a mechanical
recording device containing a list of offices and candidates arranged for a
partisan ballot, instruct the voter to vote only the nonpartisan section of the
list and advise the voter that any votes the voter may cast in the partisan
section will not be counted.
