At the top of the ballot shall be printed in  large capital letters, words designating the ballot, if a Republican  ballot, the designating words shall be: "REPUBLICAN PRIMARY BALLOT"; if  a Democratic ballot the designating words shall be: "DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY  BALLOT"; and in like manner for each political party.2.

Such names may be printed on  the ballot either in a single column or in 2 or more columns and in the  following order, to-wit:President of the United States, State offices, congressional offices,  delegates and alternate delegates to be elected from the State at large  to National nominating conventions, delegates and alternate delegates to  be elected from congressional districts to National nominating  conventions, member or members of the State central committee, trustees of sanitary  districts, county offices, judicial officers, city, village and  incorporated town offices, town offices, or of such of the said offices  as candidates are to be nominated for at such primary, and precinct,  township or ward committeepersons. If two or more columns are used, the  foregoing offices to and including member of the State central committee  shall be listed in the left-hand column and Senatorial offices, as  defined in Section 8-3, shall be the  first offices listed in the second column.Below the name of each office shall be printed in small letters the  directions to voters: "Vote for one"; "Vote for not more than two"; "Vote for not more than three". If no candidate or candidates  file for an office and if no person or persons  file a declaration as a write-in candidate for that office, then below the title of that office the election authority instead shall print "No Candidate".Next to the name of each candidate for delegate or alternate delegate  to a national nominating convention shall appear either (a)  the name of the  candidate's preference for President of the United States or the word  "uncommitted" or (b) no official designation, depending upon the action  taken by the State central committee pursuant to Section 7-10.3 of this Act.Below the name of each office shall be printed in capital letters the  names of all candidates, arranged in the order in which their petitions  for nominations were filed, except as otherwise provided in Sections  7-14 and 7-17 of this Article. Opposite and in front of the name of each  candidate shall be printed a square and all squares upon the primary  ballot shall be of uniform size. The names of each team of candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor, however, shall be printed within a bracket, and a single square shall be printed in front of the bracket. Spaces between the names of candidates  under each office shall be uniform and sufficient spaces shall separate  the names of candidates for one office from the names of candidates for  another office, to avoid confusion and to permit the writing in of the  names of other candidates.Where voting machines or electronic voting systems are used, the  provisions of this Section may be modified as required or authorized by  Article 24 or Article 24A, whichever is applicable.
