Paper ballots must be numbered consecutively and identified by use of the words "official primary ballot" on the upper right hand corner on the front of the ballot with a perforated line across the corner and underneath the number and identification so that the corner with the number and identification may be torn off. The detachable corner stub serves for the several party tickets and the ballot number must be printed upon the stub on 1 side only. A political party designation must not appear upon a ballot corner so numbered and identified. After the ballots are trimmed and wrapped in sealed packages, the ballots must be distributed for use at the primary election in the same manner as is provided by law for the distribution of ballots to be used at general elections. Ballots must be prepared in substantially the following form:
