In the columns of each of the political parties which made nominations at the next

preceding primary election to the general election and in the personal choice column,

title of each office to be filled at such election, except as hereinafter provided. Such titles of office shall be arranged in the following order: electors of President

and Vice-President of the United States; member of the United States Senate; Governor;

member of the House of Representatives; member of the State Senate; members of the

General Assembly; county executive, in counties that have adopted the county executive

supervisor; members of the board of chosen freeholders; coroners; mayor and members

of municipal governing bodies, and any other titles of office. Candidates for members of a school board and for members of a board of fire commissioners shall be listed in a section of the ballot that is separate from the section featuring

other candidates whenever possible in a layout at the discretion of the county clerk . Above each of such titles of office, except the one at the top, shall be printed

a two-point diagram rule in place of the two-point hair line rule. Below the titles of such offices shall be printed the names of the candidates for

the offices. The arrangement of the names of candidates for any office for which more than one

are to be elected shall be determined in the manner hereinafter provided, as in the

case of candidates nominated by petition. When no nomination for an office has been made the words “No Nomination Made” in type

large enough to fill the entire space or spaces below the title of office shall be

printed upon the ballot. Immediately to the left of the name of each candidate, at the extreme left of each

column, including the personal choice column, shall be printed a square, one-quarter

of an inch in size, formed by two-point diagram rules. In the personal choice column no names of candidates shall be printed. To the right of the title of each office in the party columns and the personal choice

column shall be printed the words “Vote for,” inserting in words the number of persons

to be elected to such office.
