When the territory of a precinct is such that one or more of the candidates or questions on the ballot in any election may not be legally voted upon by all registered voters of the precinct, the commissioner may not place those candidates or questions upon a voting machine which may be used by registered voters of the entire precinct unless the machine is equipped with a device, readily operable by the election official attending the machine, by which that portion of the machine on which those candidates or questions appear may be locked when the machine is to be used by a registered voter not eligible to vote for those candidates or questions. If the voting machines in any precinct to which this section is applicable are not so designed, the commissioner may place the candidates or questions for which not all voters of the precinct may legally vote on one or more, but not all, of the voting machines in the precinct. In any precinct to which this section is applicable and in which neither of the foregoing procedures are feasible, or in which all voting is by paper ballot, the commissioner shall prepare separate ballots for the candidates or questions which may not be legally voted upon by all registered voters of the precinct, and shall furnish a separate ballot box in which only those ballots shall be deposited.
