49.96 OFFICES WITH MORE THAN ONE PERSON TO BE
ELECTED.
Where more than one person is to be elected to the same office at
the same election, and all of the candidates for that office for whom
the voter desires to vote were nominated by the political party or
nonparty political organization for which the voter has marked a
straight party or organization vote, the voter need not otherwise
indicate the vote for that office. However, if a voter who has
marked a straight party or organization ticket also marks the voting
targets next to the names of one or more candidates for any office,
only the votes cast separately for individual candidates for that
office shall be counted. If the voter wishes to vote for candidates
who were nominated by different political parties or nonparty
political organizations, the voter must mark the voting target for
each candidate the voter has chosen, whether or not the voter has
also marked a straight party or organization vote. Section History: Early Form
