Ballot proposals shall appear on the ballot in a separate section or on a separate sheet or card. At the left of, or below or above, each proposal shall appear two voting positions. Next to the first voting position shall be printed the word 'Yes,' and next to the second voting position shall be printed the word 'No.' The proposals shall be numbered consecutively on the ballot. The number of each proposal shall appear in front of its designation as an amendment, proposition or question in the following form: 'Proposal one, an amendment; proposal two, a proposition; proposal three, a question'. If the ballot proposal section appears on the ballot face opposite the candidates, a ballot instruction in a format provided by the state board of elections, which may include a graphic arrow, shall indicate the ballot is two-sided.
