Section 34-903A - NAME ON BALLOTShould it appear to the secretary of state or county clerk that a person has filed as a candidate and that such person has changed their name and has changed their name to words that convey or attempt to convey a political message, the secretary of state or county clerk shall make an inquiry to determine:
(i) if such person has changed their name; and(ii) if such name contains words that convey a political message to voters on the ballot; and(iii) if an explanation on the ballot would clarify the ballot and would assist in eliminating voter confusion. If the secretary of state or county clerk finds affirmatively that all three (3) criteria have been met, the secretary of state or county clerk shall be required to note on the ballot immediately following the name that appears to be a political proposition the following statement in parentheses: (A person, formerly known as ..............), inserting in the blank within the parentheses the name by which the candidate who changed their name was formerly known.[34-903A, added 2008, ch. 408, sec. 2, p. 1124.]
