detachable stub; distribution of ballots; form.
Sec. 570.
Except for ballots used at an early voting site that are produced by an on-demand ballot
printing system, absent voter ballots issued to individuals who register to vote or who update a
voter registration at a clerk's office on election day as provided under section 761(7) that are
produced by an on-demand ballot printing system, ballots issued to individuals who register to
vote or who update a voter registration at an election day vote center as provided under section
523b that are produced by an on-demand ballot printing system, and ballots that are translated
to a language other than English that are produced by an on-demand ballot printing system,
paper ballots must be numbered consecutively and identified by use of the words "official
primary ballot" on the upper right hand corner on the front of the ballot with a perforated line
across the top of the ballot and underneath the number and identification so that the stub with
the number and identification may be torn off. The detachable stub serves for the several party
tickets and the ballot number must be printed on the stub on 1 side only. A political party
designation must not appear on a ballot stub so numbered and identified. After the ballots are
trimmed and wrapped in sealed packages, the ballots must be distributed for use at the primary
election in the same manner as is provided by law for the distribution of ballots to be used at
general elections. Ballots must be prepared in substantially the following form:
OFFICIAL
PRIMARY
BALLOT
No. ............
OFFICIAL PRIMARY ELECTION BALLOT
Primary election to be held ...................... 20...... in the county
of ................................................... .
...............party.
You cannot split your ticket. If you vote for candidates on more than 1 party
ticket, your ballot will be rejected.
Make a cross or a check mark in the square to the left of not more than the
number of names for each office as may be indicated under the title of each
office.
