ELECTIONS 1461

upon the official ballot, and properly separated from said name, and im-
mediately 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 princi-
ple which the candidate represents, as is duly contained in the certificate
of nomination or nomination papers (said designation of the party, how-
ever, shall consist solely of the name of the party to be expressed in one
word only, and nothing more). To the name of each candidate for State
office or candidate for 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 certificates 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 candi-
date nominated as provided in Section 85 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 pro-
vided, there shall be then printed to the right of the name of the candidate
so nominated in accordance with Section 85, only the word "Independent"
and none other. If the same party name shall be claimed on behalf of
nominations made by more than one convention or primary election and
duly certified as aforesaid, the officers by whom the ballot is to be prepared,
or a majority of them, shall determine which nominees are justly entitled
to the party name, and to the right of the other nominees there shall be
printed upon the ballot only the word "Independent" and none other.
There shall be left at the right of the surnames of the candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice-President, so formed as to include both names, a sufficient
clear square in which each voter may designate by a cross (X) his choice
for electors, and a cross (X) placed by the voter in the square opposite the
names of the candidates of a party for President and Vice-President shall
be deemed and counted as a vote for each of the Presidential Electors
of said party named in the certificate of nomination filed according to the
provisions of this Article. All candidates for office shall as far as possible
be placed in one column, but when the names to be printed upon the ticket
are over thirty-six, then another column shall be added in which names
shall be printed, and when two or more columns are used the same number
of names shall, so far as possible, be printed in each column. And the
initial letters of the given or Christian name of the several candidates in
each column shall be printed directly beneath each other in a vertical line,
and the initial letter of the respective party designations of said several
candidates shall be printed directly beneath each other in a vertical line.
A constitutional amendment, or any question to be submitted to the popular
vote, shall be printed at the bottom of the ballot.
