(1) except at a primary election, a straight party ticket for all the candidates of one (1) political party by touching the device of that party;
(2) for one (1) or more candidates of each political party or independent candidates, or for one (1) or more school board candidates nominated by petition;
(3) a split ticket for the candidates of different political parties and for independent candidates; or
(4) a straight party ticket and then split that ticket by casting individual votes for candidates of another political party or independent candidates.

(1) county council;
(2) city common council;
(3) town council; or

make a voting mark for each individual candidate for whom the voter wishes to cast a vote. The electronic voting system may not count any straight party ticket voting mark as a vote for any candidate for an office described by this subsection.

(1) for as many candidates for an office as the voter may vote for, but no more;
(2) for or against a public question on which the voter may vote, but no other; and
