Whenever at any general election proposed amendments to the Constitution of both statewide and local natures are submitted to the qualified electors of the State, the State officer charged with the duty of preparing the ballots shall arrange and classify the proposed amendments on such ballots as follows:
At the top of one ballot shall be printed the words "Statewide Constitutional Amendments." Under this heading there shall be placed the various proposed amendments of a state-wide nature. At the top of a separate ballot shall be printed the words "Local Constitutional Amendments." Under this heading there shall be printed in alphabetical order the names of the various counties of the State affected by any proposed local amendments and under the name of each county the particular amendment affecting such county, or any particular subdivision thereof, or municipality situated therein, but when any proposed amendment relates to two or more counties such proposed amendment shall be listed under a joint heading combined of the names of such counties. The heading shall be printed in larger type than that used in printing the proposed amendment.
Ballots for the state-wide constitutional amendments shall be printed on white paper and ballots for the local constitutional amendments shall be printed on a paper other than white.
