§ 4004. Official or White Ballots, and Sample Ballots.

There shall be provided and furnished at any general or special election for each election precinct not less than one and one-fifth times as many official white ballots and a like number of the colored or sample ballots as there are voters duly registered in any such election precinct when the registration books are closed preceding any such general or special election. The colored or sample ballots shall be duplicate impressions of the white ballots, but without perforated stubs. These colored or sample ballots shall be furnished as soon as printed, at any time before the election, by the respective county clerks, in reasonable quantities, to all electors applying for the same; and on the date of election, under the direction and control of the judges at each polling place, the sample ballots shall be given in reasonable and proper quantities to all electors applying for them.

§ 4005. Vacancy After Printing Ballots.

In case of the death, withdrawal or removal from the electoral district of any candidate after the printing of such ballots, and before such election, it shall be lawful for the executive committee of the state, congressional or county central committee of the political party of which such candidate was a member to make a nomination to fill such vacancy, and to provide the election board of each precinct in which such candidate is to be voted for with a number of pasters containing only the name of such candidate at least equal to the number of ballots provided each precinct, but no pasters shall be given to or received by anyone except such election board and such chairman, and it shall be the duty of the clerks of the election board at each such precinct to put one of such pasters, in a careful and proper manner, and in the proper place, on each ballot before such ballot shall be delivered to the elector.

§ 4006. Cancelation of Names on Printed Ballots.

It shall be the duty of the county clerk of each county to cause the name of each nominee who has thus withdrawn or died, provided the ballots have been printed, to be certified to the judges of the several election precincts, and then it shall be the duty of the judges of such election precincts, in accordance with such certification, to see that the name of each candidate who has thus withdrawn or died is canceled upon the white ballots before they are given out to the electors, and also that such cards of instructions, or lists of the candidates nominated to fill such vacancy are duly posted in each compartment or place provided for preparing the ballots, before the ballots are given out to the electors. § 4007. A Large and Small Ballot Box for Each Precinct.

It shall be the duty of the county clerk of each county to provide for each election precinct within such county one large and one smaller ballot box or pouch and for each precinct within such county coming within the provisions of section 3891, one additional large and one smaller ballot box or pouch, the larger of which shall be used for the reception of all general ballots deposited and the smaller for all ballots cast only for state or district officers. Said larger boxes or pouches shall be marked "General" and the smaller "State and District," respectively. Each of such ballot boxes shall be provided with a lid fastened with hinges and a good lock and key. The lid shall form the top of the box and contain an opening

or slot five inches long and one-quarter of an inch wide for the reception of ballots. Each of such ballot boxes shall be of strong leather or canvas and provided with a good lock and key. In the top of each such ballot [box or pouch] pouches there shall be a slot five inches long and onequarter of an inch wide for the reception of ballots. All ballots cast by electors entitled to vote for all the officers to be elected at the general election shall be deposited in the box or pouch marked "General;" all ballots cast by electors qualified only to vote for state or state and district officers shall be deposited in the box or pouch marked "State and District."

A sufficient time and not less than five days before the opening of the polls at any election provided for in this act, the county clerk of each county in which the election is to be held shall deliver to the sheriff of the county for use at each polling place in the county:

1. The proper number of ballots required for such polling place, prepared and printed as provided in this act;

2. The ballot boxes, required by this act;

3. Two poll books, required by this act;

4. One copy of the election laws of this state, required by this act; 5. A sufficient number of tally sheets, required by this act;

6. A sufficient quantity of pens, ink, blotting pads, indelible copying pencils, needles and string for stringing ballots and stubs, sealing wax, and the like, necessary and convenient for carrying out the provisions of this act.

The white ballots so furnished shall be in a package by themselves, and the package shall be marked on the outside "White Ballots," with the number contained in the package, and the package shall be addressed to the judges of the polling place for which it is intended, and the package shall be certified by the clerk and sealed under the seal of the county court of the county. The colored or sample ballots shall likewise be in a separate package by themselves and the package shall be marked on the outside "Colored or Sample Ballots," with the number contained in the package, certified, addressed and sealed. The poll books, tally sheets, and copy of election laws shall likewise be done up in a package, addressed and sealed. The other articles shall likewise be addressed. The county clerk shall keep a record of the addresses thereon, the contents of the packages, and the number thereof. [Laws 1921, chapter 181, section 4, pages 338, 339.]

The county clerk shall prepare a receipt in duplicate for each polling place, enumerating the packages, and stating the time and day and date when the same were delivered by him to the sheriff. The sheriff shall sign both of said receipts, upon receipt of the packages; one of the receipts shall be retained by the clerk, and the other shall be delivered to the sheriff, and upon receipt of the packages, the judge or judges of election to whom they are delivered shall countersign said receipts, and the same shall forthwith be returned by the sheriff and filed with said clerk.

OF POLLING PLACES AND PROVISIONS FOR VOTING

§ 4010. Polling Places-Arrangement and Provisions For.

The sheriff of each county, under the direction and control of the county court of the county, a sufficient time and not less than one day before every election provided for in this act, shall secure the use of and take possession of the places designated by the county court as the polling places in the several precincts in the county; he shall cause the same to be suitably provided with a guardrail so constructed and placed that only such persons as are inside said rail can approach within six feet of the ballot boxes, or within ten feet of the compartments, shelves or tables at which electors are to prepare their ballots for voting. He shall furnish in the manner directed by such county court a sufficient number of such compartments, shelves or tables in or at which electors may conveniently prepare their ballots for voting, so that in the preparation thereof each elector may be screened from the observation of other persons. The arrangement shall be such that neither the ballot boxes nor the compartments, shelves or tables, nor the electors while preparing their ballots, shall be hidden from view of those just outside the said guardrail, or from the judges; and yet the same shall be far enough removed and so arranged that the elector may conveniently prepare his ballot for voting with absolute secrecy. There shall be provided in each polling place not less than one such compartment, shelf or table for every forty electors to vote at such polling place, and every polling place shall have at least three of such compartments, shelves or tables.

§ 4011. Judges and Clerks-How Seated-Candidates and Agents May Be Present.

The sheriff shall likewise arrange in or nearby each polling place, tables and chairs, with lights and fire, if needed, for the use of the judges and clerks in counting the ballots. The tables and chairs shall be arranged so that the chairman and second judge shall sit on one side of the table with the ballot boxes on top of the table in front of them. Two of the clerks shall sit on the opposite side of the table facing the chairman and second judge. The third clerk shall sit at the end of the table to the left of the chairman. The sheriff shall arrange a stout guardrail two feet six inches from the outer sides of the said table, and just back of the so arranged chairs of the judges and clerks, so that the guardrail will entirely inclose the board of judges and clerks when seated as aforesaid, and shall serve to keep the bystanders off from the table yet not prevent them overlooking the judges and clerks to see that they read and tally the ballots correctly. The candidates, and their agents, duly appointed as provided in section 3909, are hereby declared and entitled to be present in the room where the voting is done from the time of opening to the
