If possible, all public measures and constitutional amendments to be voted upon by an elector shall be included on a single special paper ballot which shall also include all offices to be voted upon. However, if it is necessary, a separate ballot may be used as provided in section 49.30, subsection 1.
In precincts using paper ballots all public measures to be voted upon by a voter at a given election shall be printed upon one ballot of some color other than white. In precincts using voting machines all public measures shall be placed in the question row on the machine; however, if it is impossible to place all the public measures on the machine ballot, or if only a portion of the registered voters of the precinct are entitled to vote upon any measure presented, the commissioner may provide a separate paper ballot for the public measure or measures.
Constitutional amendments and other public measures may be summarized by the commissioner as provided in sections 49.44 and 52.25.
