There's no such thing as a "Federal election ballot," at least not in the United States. Ballots are prepared by local election officials and vary widely across the country and even across individual states.
The marks used depend on the type of ballot, some require you to fill in a circle, others to punch out a box, etc. Electronic ballots don't even use "marks" at all, you just push a button or touch the screen in the appropriate spot.
You mark the ballot by writing an "X" in the circle beside the name of your chosen candidate.
