Voting irregular ballot for person whose name does not appear on voting
machine.
Ballots voted for any person whose name does not appear on the machine as a nominated
candidate for office, are herein referred to as irregular ballots. In voting for presidential electors,
a voter may vote an irregular ticket made up of the names of persons in nomination by different
parties, or partially of names of persons so in nomination and partially of persons not in
nomination, or wholly of persons not in nomination by any party. Such irregular ballots shall be
deposited, written or affixed in or upon the receptacle or device provided on the machine for that
purpose. With that exception, no irregular ballot shall be voted for any person for any office
whose name appears on the machine as a nominated candidate for that office; any irregular ballot
so voted shall not be counted. An irregular ballot must be cast in its appropriate place on the
machine, or it shall be void and not counted.
