1. Every ballot upon which appears the names of candidates for any statewide office

or for President and Vice President of the United States shall contain for each office

an additional line equivalent to the lines on which the candidates' names appear and

placed at the end of the group of lines containing the names of the candidates for

that office. Each additional line shall contain a square in which the voter may express a choice

of that line in the same manner as the voter would express a choice of a candidate,

and the line shall read “None of these candidates.” 2. Only votes cast for the named candidates shall be counted in determining nomination

or election to any statewide office or presidential nominations or the selection of

presidential electors, but for each office the number of ballots on which the additional

line was chosen shall be listed following the names of the candidates and the number

of their votes in every posting, abstract and proclamation of the results of the election. 3. Every sample ballot or other instruction to voters prescribed or approved by the

Secretary of State shall clearly explain that the voter may mark the choice of the

line “None of these candidates” only if the voter has not voted for any candidate

for the office.
