Printing Punch Card or Optical Scanner Ballot Questions on Separate Sheets

Where punch cards on which are printed the candidates' names and other ballot information, or optical scanner ballots, are used, the Secretary's Director of Elections for state elections and the city or town clerk for city or town elections may determine in that officer's discretion that some or all ballot questions shall be printed on separate sheets of paper rather than on punch cards or optical scanner ballots. Voters shall continue to vote on these questions by punching or marking the appropriate positions on the punch card or optical scanner ballot.
