4.1.2. The Secretary of State shall approve, disapprove or specify corrections needed for the form within days (30) days after receipt of the request for approval.

4.1.3. For those official election forms not required by law to be prescribed by the Secretary of State, the Secretary of State shall approve the form submitted if it is in compliance with the requirements of the law and this rule, reasonably easy to use and in a format which is readable and contains sufficient space to allow information requested on the form to be entered.

4.2. Upon approval, vendors of official election forms may print on the form, "Approved by the Secretary of State" and the date of approval.

No vendor may supply a form marked "Approved by the Secretary of State" after the approval is withdrawn.
