21-2-379.4. (a) The ballots for direct recording electronic
(DRE) voting systems shall be of such size and arrangement as will
suit the construction of the DRE screen and shall be in plain,
clear type that is easily readable by persons with normal vision.
If the equipment has the capacity for color display, the names of
all candidates in a particular race shall be displayed in the same
color, font, and size and the political party or body affiliation
of candidates may be displayed in a color different from that used
to display the names of the candidates, but all political party or
body affiliations shall be displayed in the same color. All
candidateśnames
and political parties shall be printed in the same size and font.
All ballot questions and constitutional amendments shall be
displayed in the same color. (b) The arrangement of offices, names of
candidates, and questions upon the ballots shall conform as nearly
as practicable to this chapter for the arrangement of such offices,
names of candidates, and questions on paper ballots.
(c) Electors shall be permitted to
cast write-in votes on DRE voting systems as provided in Code
Section 21-2-133. The design of the ballot shall permit the
election superintendent and poll workers when obtaining the vote
count from such systems to determine readily whether an elector has
cast any write-in vote not authorized by law. (d) The form and arrangement of ballots shall be
prescribed by the Secretary of State and prepared by the election
superintendent.
