SACRAMENTO, Feb. 19. (UP)— Attorney-General Robert W. Kenny ruled Saturday that separate ballots must be used May 16 for the combined primary election and the vote on a federal property taxation amendment.
He ruled, however, that the "ham 'n' eggs" pension initiative, if it is found qualified for a vote May 16, may appear on the same special ballot with the taxation amendment which would allow local levies against federal property.
The opinion, requested by Secretary of State Frank M. Jordan, said that the same ballot boxes and election officers could be used for both ballots.
"Soldier vote" regulations for the primary ballot, allowing it to be sent out to servicemen 45 days before the election, will not apply to the proposition ballot. Kenny said.
The earliest the proposition ballot may be sent to applicants for absentee voting is 26 days.
