The official ballot for the General Election shall be printed so

that the nominees of the various political parties and nonpartisan

candidates will appear in order as determined according to this

section. For each section of the ballot for which there are

partisan candidates, the candidates of the recognized parties shall

be printed first in lot order followed by candidates of unrecognized

parties in lot order followed by independent candidates in lot

order. Candidates of recognized and unrecognized parties shall be

printed in the lot order of their respective party. Each political

party shall have the right to select an emblem to be used in

designating its candidates on the ballot; provided, however, that no

party shall be allowed to use the coat of arms or seal of Oklahoma

or of the United States, or the respective flags thereof. Until

changed by resolution of a political party, in state convention, the

emblem of the Democratic party shall be a rooster and that of the

Republican party an eagle. Change in a party emblem shall be

authorized by the Secretary of the State Election Board only after

receipt of written notice of the change by the Secretary from the

state central committee of a party. At the top of each ballot on

which there are partisan candidates shall appear the name of each

recognized party with the emblem of the party in lot order as

prescribed by the Secretary of the State Election Board. The name

of the office entitled to the first place, preceded by the word

"for", shall appear in bold type, as "For Governor". Immediately

after same shall be the names of the nominees for such office

printed with the name of the nominee's party followed by candidates

who file as Independents for such office printed with the word

"Independent". The list shall be continued, naming the officers in

the order in which they are set out by the Constitution and

statutes, until all the nominees are given space. The sections of

the ballot shall be set off with well-defined lines or by other

means as prescribed by the Secretary of the State Election Board.
