 Sec. 576.
    (1) An elector, after having received a ballot or ballots, shall enter a booth or voting
 compartment and, while there concealed from view, shall vote the ballot or ballots by making
 a cross or a check mark in the square at the left of the names of those candidates for whom the
 elector desires to vote, but in no case for more candidates for any office than is indicated under
 the title of each office. However, an elector may vote for a person whose name is not printed
 on the ballot by inserting the name in a manner that will substitute it for any name that is
 printed on the ballot or where no candidate's name appears upon the ballot.
    (2) The elector shall indicate his or her choice of candidates on 1 party ticket only and, after
 marking the ballot, the elector shall fold it for deposit pursuant to the provisions of this act. A
 ballot on which more than 1 party ticket has been voted is void.
