430 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 232

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 Ar-
ticle, and not withdrawn in accordance therewith, except that
the names of the candidates for the office of Electors of Presi-
dent and Vice-President of the United States shall not be
printed on the ballot but in lieu thereof the names of the candi-
dates of each political party for the office of President and
Vice-President shall be printed thereon. The names of candi-
dates for every office shall be arranged alphabetically ac-
cording to their surname, under the designations of the office,
except that the names of the candidates of each political party
for President and Vice-President shall be grouped together,

designation "Electors for President and Vice-President", and
arranged alphabetically in the order of the surnames of the
Presidential candidates. Above the group of names of the
candidates for each office and upon a separate line immedi-

county or city in which the candidate resides. Ballots shall
be so printed as to give each voter a clear opportunity to desig-
nate 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 candi-
date is named for the same office on two or more certificates
of nomination, his name shall be printed on the ballot but

added the name of one of the parties which such candidate
