curely sealed by mail, or other safe convey
ance, to the secretary of the commission
at Salt Lake city, Utah.
REHABILITATION.
From the foregoing it is clear that ont
OF the judges must keep the registry list
and write the word ''voted" opposite the
name of each person casting a vote, and
another judge must write the name of each
person voting, and opposite TO it the mum
Der of the vote. AS soon as the polls close
| and the lists are compared, and the ballots
counted, each Of these iudges.must make a
list of all the persons voted for. On this
list they must tally the number OF votes
for each person as they are called of-the
name of the Office which the candidate is
intended TO I'LL being opposite his name
and on these two lists the judges must take
an account of all the votes cast, and that
account, on each tally list, must show the
date at that poll.
After the canvass had been completed,
the Judges of election shall add up and de-
termine the number of votes cast for each
person for the several offices, which result
shall be placed on the lists made by the
judges acting as clerks OF election, that is.
on the tally lists above referred to. ana the
Judges shall thereupon certify to the same,
that is. they shall add at the bottom OF each
of the said tally sheets a certificate 10 the
effect that the foregoing IS true and cor
rect account of the number of votes cast
for each candidate for said office at said
poll, and all the judges should then sign
each of the said certificates and date them,
and should also certify 10 the registry list
and poll list, and forward all the lists, that
is, the registry list, the poll list and the two
tally lists, which should all agree, securely
sealed, to the secretary of the Utah Com
mission, at Salt Lake City, Utah.
In addition to the foregoing lists required
by law, the Utah commission have pre-
scribed that an abstract be made, setting
forth the names of the candidates and
number of votes cast for each. This re-
Quirement should be complied with.
Great care should be taken in all the lists
and returns to give the full and exact name
of each candidate, and the judges should be
careful to see that each name is correctly
spelled.
The returns, which should 20 in sealed
envelope to the Utah commission, consists
of the registry list, the poll list, the two
tally lists (all duly certified, and the alb
stract required by the commission.
Immediately after the canvass, all the
ballots must be returned to the ballot box
and the box locked and securely sealed.
AS the law and the instructions of the
commissions are both silent as TO the kind
of seal TO be used, we recommend that a
paper, bearing the signature Of each Judge
of election, be so pasted over the slot and
keyhole as to prevent the possibility of
anything being put into the box or taken
out of it without tearing the paper.
