There really aren't any "federal" ballots. Presidential elections have the same presidential candidates on all ballots. Local elections and state elections have other candidates, depending on the location. In a primary election, you get a ballot for your party only, although this varies. The order of the candidates on a ballot are randomly shuffled.
