63. The form and arrangement of the ballots shall be as follows: All
ballots shall contain the name of every candidate whose nomination for
any office specified in the ballot has been certified to and filed according to
the provisions of this Article, and not withdrawn in accordance therewith.
The names of candidates for every office shall, except in the case of candi-
dates for Presidential Electors, be arranged alphabetically according to
their surname, tinder the designations of the office. Above the group of
names of the candidates for each office and upon a separate line imme-
diately underneath the designation of the office, there shall be printed in
bold, plain roman capitals, twelve-point (pica) type, an appropriate direc-
tion or instruction to the voter informing him of the number of persons
for whom he may lawfully vote for the particular office mentioned imme-
diately above each such direction, thus: " Vote for One," " Vote for
Two," or " Vote for Six," as the case may be. To the right of the name of
each candidate upon the official ballot, and properly separated from said
name, and immediately to the left of the square, opposite the name of the
candidate, and in line therewith, shall be added the designation of the
party or principle which the candidate represents, as is duly contained in
the certificate of nomination or nomination papers (said designation of
the party, however, shall consist solely of the name of the party to be ex-
pressed in one word only, and nothing more). To the name of each candi-
date for State office or candidate far Congress shall be added the name of
the county or city in which the candidate resides. Ballots shall be so
printed as to give each voter a clear opportunity to designate by a cross
(X) in a square at the right of the name of each candidate, and at the
right of each question, his choice of candidate and his answer to such
question. If the candidate is named for the same office on two or more cer-
tificates of nomination, his name shall be printed on the ballot but once,
and to the right of the name of said candidate shall be added the name of
one of the parties which such candidate represents, as appearing in said
certificate of nomination, and the Board of Supervisors of Elections shall
cause to be printed to the right of the name of such candidate whatever
one of said party names, so appearing in said certificate of nomination, the
said candidate shall, in writing, designate to said Board of Supervisors
as the party named which he desires to be added to the right of his name on
the ballot; provided, however, that such party name shall consist of one
word only. When the name of a political party is given in connection
with the name of a candidate nominated as provided in Section 50 of this
Article, it shall be stated on the ballot to the right of the name of the
candidate; but if there shall have been any nomination for the same office
by a convention or primary election claiming the same party name, duly
certified as hereinbefore provided, there shall be then printed to the right
