28. Section 15. A regular city election for the election of city officers, as in this charter provided, shall be held on May 3, 2005 and on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in May every four (4) years thereafter, at such place in each election precinct of the city as the council shall by resolution designate. At such general city election, the ballots for the election of city officers shall be separate from any other ballot, shall be without party insignia, emblem or designation, and shall be printed in the same manner and be in the same general form as the ballots for the primary elections herein provided for, so far as applicable. Below the names of the candidates for each city office on the general election ballot there shall be printed as many blank lines as there are offices to be filled, for the purpose of allowing the elector, if he so desires, to write in the names of any person for whom he may desire to vote, whose names are not printed on the ballot.
