(a) Each county election board shall have the names of all candidates for all
elected offices, political party offices, and public questions printed on ballot labels for use
in an electronic voting system as provided in this chapter.
(b) The county may:
(1) print all offices and public questions on a single ballot label; and
(2) include a ballot variation code to ensure that the proper version of a ballot label is
used within a precinct.

(described in IC 3-11-2-6) nominated by petitioners must be listed on the ballot label with
the name and device set forth on the certification or petition. The circle containing the device

IC 3-8-2.5-2.5(a)(5)(C), a blank space must be printed after the candidate's name signifying
that the candidate elects not to disclose any affiliation with a political party or that the
candidate:

reading substantially as follows must be placed immediately below the name of the office and
above the name of the first candidate:
(1) "Vote for one (1) only.", if only one (1) candidate is to be elected to the office.
(2) "Vote for not more than (insert the number of candidates to be elected) candidate(s)
for this office. To vote for any candidate for this office, you must make a voting mark
for each candidate you wish to vote for. A straight party vote will not count as a vote
for any candidate for this office.", if more than one (1) candidate is to be elected to the
office.
(3) "Vote for one (1) only. A straight party vote will not count as a vote for any
candidate for this office.", if only one (1) candidate is to be elected to a school board

(g) Below the name of the office and the statement required by subsection (f), the names
of the candidates for each office must be grouped together in the following order:

votes in the county for secretary of state is listed second.
