§ 3523.05Form of ballot

The election provided for in section 3523.01 of the Revised Code shall be by ballot, which may be
separate from any ballot to be used at the same election. Such ballot shall first state the substance of
the proposed amendment to the Constitution of the United States. This shall be followed by
appropriate instructions to the voter. It shall then contain perpendicular columns of equal width,
headed respectively in plain type, "for ratification," "against ratification," and "unpledged." In the
column headed "for ratification" shall be placed the names of the nominees nominated as in favor of
ratification. In the column headed "against ratification" shall be placed the names of the nominees
nominated as against ratification. In the column headed "unpledged" shall be placed the names of the
nominees nominated as unpledged. The voter shall indicate the voter's choice by making one or more
punches or marks in the appropriate spaces provided on the ballot. No ballot shall be held void
because any such punch or mark is irregular in character. The ballot shall be so arranged that the
voter may, by making a single punch or mark, vote for the entire group of nominees whose names
are comprised in any column. The ballot shall be in substantially the following form:
