(a) In an election in which a candidate's name is to appear on the ballot as the nominee of a political party, the voting system ballot shall be arranged:
(1) in party columns in the same manner as for a regular paper ballot on which a party nominee appears; or
(2) by listing the office titles in a vertical column in the same manner as for a regular paper ballot on which a party nominee does not appear, except that the nominees' party alignments shall be indicated next to their names.
(b) The order in which party nominees listed by office title appear on a voting system ballot is determined in accordance with the same priorities and in the same manner as for party nominees listed in party columns, with the changes appropriate to the circumstances.
(c) Voting system ballots may not be arranged in a manner that allows a political party's candidates to be selected in one motion or gesture.
