D. If, after printing any offices required to be elected and the state ballot questions certified by the secretary of state, there is insufficient space on a single-page ballot using both sides of the page to accommodate the various ballot questions submitted by local governments:

(1)     priority for printing local government ballot questions shall be in the order the approved ballot questions were filed with the county clerk; provided that for multicounty jurisdictions, exclusion from one county’s ballot excludes that local government ballot question from the ballot in all applicable counties;

(2)     a local government ballot question that, based on the order received by the county clerk, would require the ballot to be on more than one page shall be included on the ballot only if the local government submitting the ballot question pays the additional costs of any subsequent ballot page; provided that if more than one local government submits ballot questions that would require the ballot to be on more than one page, those local governments shall share the additional costs of any subsequent ballot page;

(3)     a single ballot that is printed on more than one page may permit voters to cast on the first page a vote for or against any local government ballot question printed on a subsequent ballot page; and

(4)     regardless of the order in which local government ballot questions are filed with the county clerk, the ballot questions shall be printed on the ballot in the order provided in Section 1-10-8 N.M. Stat. Ann..
