Sec. 585.
Any voting machine which is by law authorized to be used at a general election may, by the
order of the board of supervisors of any county, the legislative body of any city, the township
board of any township, or the village council of any village, be purchased and used therein at
primary elections in like manner and to the same extent that such machines may be used at
general elections, and in case there are more candidates than can have their names placed on
any such machines so to be used, or in case such machine is so constructed that an elector
cannot vote for candidates of more than 1 political party, then it shall be the duty of the proper
election commission to designate what names shall be voted for on the machines, and to print
the remaining names upon proper ballots in such manner as nearly as may be that the political
party or parties polling the largest vote in such county for secretary of state at the last
preceding election shall be placed upon the machine, and the candidates of smaller parties
shall be placed upon ballots, but all the candidates of any party shall either be upon the
machine or upon a ballot.§ 168.585Primary elections; use of voting machines; supplementary ballots
