Title 11, Chapter 10, Section 101.5609 (6) applies to electromechanical ballots,
that is, those which are tabulated by machines -

>>(6) Voting squares may be placed in front of or in back of the names of candidates and
statements of questions and shall be of such size as is compatible with the type of system
used.
Ballots and ballot information shall be printed in a size and style of type as plain and
clear as the ballot spaces reasonably permit. Tear-off stubs shall be of a size suitable for the
ballots used and for the requirements of the voting device. The ballots may contain special
printed marks and holes as required for proper positioning and reading of the ballots by the
automatic tabulating equipment. When ballots are bound into pads, they may be bound at the
top or bottom or at either side. In the case of the paper ballots, all offices and questions may
be printed on the same sheet of paper.<<

If "front or back" doesn't mean "left or right," what does it mean?
