It outlines nomination methods through conventions and petition sheets, sets filing timelines with state and local offices, and mandates official ballots with party designations and candidate names, while preserving ballot secrecy.
The county and city clerks shall print ballots for general and local elections and supply them to judges of election. Ballots must be ready at least two days before election and delivered to polling places twelve hours before opening. For constitutional measures, ballots must show yes and no margins clearly.

It outlines the counties duties to publish the law in two newspapers, selects papers, and mandates secrecy and proper destruction of ballots after canvass.
