[Laws, 1889, P. 184.] Sec. 62. Whenever any constitutional amendment or other question is required by law to be submitted to popular vote, if all the electors of the State are entitled to vote on such question, the State Board of Election Commissioners shall cause a brief statement of the same to be printed on the State ballots, and the words "yes" and "no" under the same, so that the elector may indicate his preference by stamping at the place designated in front of either word. If the question is required by law to be voted on by the electors of any district or division of the State the Board or Boards of Election Commissioners of the county or counties, including or included in such division or district, shall cause similar provision to be made on the local ballots. In case any elector shall not indicate his preference by stamping in front of either word the ballot as to such question shall be void and shall not be counted.
