        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.
