52.28 Optical scan voting system ballot forms.
The commissioner of each county in which the use of an optical scan voting system in one
or more precincts has been authorized shall print text on optical scan ballots using black
ink on white paper and shall determine the arrangement of candidates’ names and public
questions upon the ballot or ballots used with the system. The ballot information shall be
arranged as required by chapters 43 and 49, and by any relevant provisions of any statutes
which specify the form of ballots for special elections, so far as possible within the constraints
of the physical characteristics of the optical scan voting system in use in that county. The state
commissioner may adopt rules requiring a reasonable degree of uniformity among counties
in arrangement of optical scan voting system ballots.
