52.28 OPTICAL SCAN VOTING SYSTEM BALLOT FORMS.
The commissioner of each county in which the use of an optical
scan voting system in one or more precincts has been authorized shall
print optical scan ballots using black ink on white paper and shall
determine the arrangement of candidates' names and public questions
upon the ballot or ballots used with the system. The ballot
information shall be arranged as required by chapters 43 and 49, and
by any relevant provisions of any statutes which specify the form of
ballots for special elections, so far as possible within the
constraints of the physical characteristics of the optical scan
voting system in use in that county. The state commissioner may
adopt rules requiring a reasonable degree of uniformity among
counties in arrangement of optical scan voting system ballots. Section History: Early Form
