§ Subdivision 1.Form. Except as provided in subdivision 2, the county auditor must prepare separate ballots for a special primary and special election as required by sections 204D.17 to 204D.27. The ballots must be headed "Special Primary Ballot" or "Special Election Ballot" as the case may be, followed by the date of the special primary or special election. Immediately below the title of each office to be filled must be printed the words "To fill vacancy in term expiring ..........," with the date of expiration of the term and any other information that is necessary to distinguish the office from any other office to be voted upon at the same election. For a special primary or special election, the instructions to voters may use the singular form of the word when referring to candidates and offices when only one office is to be filled at the special election. Otherwise the form of the ballots must comply as far as practicable with the laws relating to ballots for state primaries and state general elections. The county auditor must post a sample of each ballot in the auditor's office as soon as prepared and not later than four days before the special primary or special election. Publication of the notice to voters pursuant to section 204D.16 for a special primary or special election is not required.
