§ 3.04. Form of ballots.

The city council shall prescribe the form of the ballot by ordinance including the method of listing candidates for city council election. A charter or ordinance amendment to be voted on by the electors of the city shall be presented for voting by ballot title. The ballot title of a measure may differ from its legal title and shall be a clear, concise statement describing the substance of the measure without argument or prejudice and shall be styled in such a manner that a "yes" vote will indicate approval of the proposal and a "no" vote will indicate rejection. Below the ballot title shall appear the following question: "Shall the above (Charter amendment) (ordinance) be adopted?" Immediately below such question shall appear in the following order, the words "Yes for Approval" and also the words "No for Rejection" with a sufficient blank space thereafter for the placing of the symbol "X" to indicate the voter's choice, if voting machines are not used.
