INFORMATION To VOTERS.


for the information and guidance OF
voters. A voter upon entering the
polling place and giving his name and
residence will receive a ballot from
the ballot clerk which must have en-
dOrsed thereon the names or Initials
of both ballot clerks and no other bal
lot can be used. Upon receiving his
ballot, the voter must retire alone to
a booth or compartment and prepare
the same for voting. A ballot clerk
may inform the voter as to the proper
manner Of marking a ballot, but he
must not advise or indicate in any
manner whom to vote for. If it be
general election these words are to fol-
low: the voter if he wishes to vote
for all the candidates nominated by
any party should make cross mark
x under the party designation printed
at the top of the ballot in the circle
made for that purpose. ballot 50
marked and having no other mark,
will be counted for all the candidates
Of that party in the column under
meath, unless the names of some of the
candidates of the party have been
erased or a cross mark be placed in
the square under the name or at any
place in the space occupied by the
name or names of candidates in another
column, and will be counted for any
name written in lieu of one erased. If
the voter wishes to vote for some of
the candidates Of different political
parties, he should make a cross mark
under the name of each candidate he
desires to vote for, or at any place
within the space in which the name is
printed. If he wishes to vote for per-
son for q certain office whose name is
not on the ballot, he must write the
name in the blank space under the
printed name of the candidate for the
office. The ballot should not be
marked in any other manner. If the
ballot be spoiled it must be returned
another in it's stead, but not more than
three in all to any one voter. Five
minutes time is allowed in booth to
mark ballot. Unofficial ballots or
memorandum to assist the voter in
marking his ballot can be taken into
the BOOTH and may be used to copy
from. The ballot must not be shown
SO that any person can see how it has
been marked by the voter. After it is
marked it should be folded so that the
inside cannot be SEEM but so that the
printed Endorsements and signatures OF
the ballot clerks on the outside may be
seen. Then the voter should pass out
of the booth or compartment, give his
name to the Inspector in charge of the
ballot box, hand him his ballot to be
placed in the box, and pass out of the
voting place. A voter who declares
to the presiding officer that he is un-
able to read, or that by reason of
physical disability he is unable to mark
his ballet, can have assistance of one
or two election officers in marking the
same. to be chosen by the voter; and
if he declares that he is totally blind,
he may be assisted by any person
chosen by him from among the legal
voters of the county. The presiding Of
ficer NAV administer an oath in his dis
cretion as to such persons disability.
