A public notice urges voters to mark a straight party ticket by writing the party name in a blank space provided. The directive raises questions about ballot integrity and potential confusion for electors.
The notice explains that a cross mark against a name on a straight ticket cancels the vote for that candidate for the same office. When multiple candidates share a title such as Presidential Electors or Regents, voters may also cross through unliked names on the party ticket and must draw a line through those candidates.
For state treasurer vote for one for attorney general vote for one for state superintendent of public instruction vote for one.
