Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 49, December 6, 2024

Section 153-14-4 - Maximum Length of Name

4.1. Because space and typographical limitations affect ballot printing, the length of names on the ballot are hereby limited.

4.2. When a candidate specifies a name for the ballot which incorporates names other than his or her legal name, and which includes more than twenty-five (25) letters, the secretary of state or county clerk may require the candidate to designate a name for the ballot including no more than twenty-five (25) letters. If the candidate fails to comply, the secretary of state or county clerk shall use only the candidate's legal name.
