12       Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Kansas:
13             Section  1. K.S.A. 25-4607 is hereby amended to read as follows: 25-
14       4607. The ballot information shall be in the order of arrangement pro-
15       vided for in article 6, chapter 25 of Kansas Statutes Annotated for official
16       ballots, except that. Such information may be printed on both sides of
17       one ballot or on more than one ballot. Nothing in this act shall be con-
18       strued as prohibiting the use of multiple ballots when the information for
19       any election exceeds the capacity of a single ballot. Voting squares may
20       be placed before or after the names of candidates and statements of ques-
21       tions, and or on a separate paper corresponding to the ballot upon which
22       the names of candidates and statements of questions appear. Voting
23       squares shall be of such size as is compatible with the system used. Ballots
24       shall be printed on paper and with ink compatible with the system used
25       and the information printed in as plain clear type and size as the ballot
26       spaces will reasonably permit. At the bottom of each ballot shall be
27       printed a box, which shall be placed on the ballot in such a manner so as
28       not to interfere with the scanning of the ballot. 
29       Sec.  2. K.S.A. 25-2015 and 25-4607 are hereby repealed.
30        Sec.  3. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after its
31       publication in the statute book.
