(b)
The arrangement of offices, names of candidates and questions upon the ballot labels shall conform as nearly as practicable to the provisions of law for the arrangement of same on paper ballots. Provided, however, that such form may be varied in order to present a clear presentation of candidates and questions to the electors. In the event that there are more candidates for any office than can be placed upon one page, the label shall be clearly marked to indicate that the names of candidates for the office are continued on the following page.
(c)
The form and arrangement of ballot labels shall be prescribed and prepared by the State Election Commission.
(d)
In primaries, separate vote recorders may be used for each political party. If the same vote recorder is used for two or more political parties on the same day, the ballot cards of each party shall be clearly identified and so designed that only votes cast for candidates of that party will be counted by the tabulating machine.
