(a) how to obtain ballots for voting;
(b) how to prepare ballots, including how to:
(i) cast a valid vote, including a valid vote for a write-in candidate;
(ii) correct a mistake; and
(iii) ensure the proper disposition of the ballot after the elector is finished voting;
(c) how to obtain a new ballot in place of one spoiled by accident; and
(d) how to vote provisionally pursuant to 13-13-601.
(3) The information required in subsection (2) must also be posted at each polling place along with the election date, the hours the polls are open, and instructions for mail-in registrants and first-time voters.
(4) If the instructions for use of a voting system are printed on the system or are part of a ballot package given to each elector, separate instructions need not be posted in the voting station.

If an election administrator has the capacity to print a larger version of a sample ballot, a sample ballot must be printed and displayed in a size larger than an actual ballot.
