“For the recall of (name of person).”
“Against the recall of (name of person).”
Immediately at the left of each proposition there shall be a square in which the elector by making a cross mark X, or in such manner of marking or voting thereon as complies with State of Ohio election laws, may vote for either of such propositions. Under the propositions shall appear the words “Candidates to succeed (name of person) if recalled” and beneath such words the directions to voters required to be printed on the ballots for a regular election of members of the commission. Following the direction to voters the names of candidates shall be printed on the ballots in rotation as provided for a regular municipal election or in such manner of marking or voting thereon as complies with State of Ohio election laws.
