be used and any other detail with ref
erence to the ballots, not prescribed
by this act. He shall print for each
party, at least twenty-five duplicate,
but unofficial ballots on white paper
for inspection, and send the same to
each town clerk with the official ball
lots, and the town clerk shall post one
of each kind forthwith in his office
and four of each kind in prominent
positions about the polling place on
the date of the primary election ana
deliver the remainder to the local
chairman of the party whose ballots
they are. Ballots for use at city or
borough primaries shall be similarly
printed, arranged, and delivered by
the city or borough clerk, and shall
be given to and used by electors only
as is provided in the case of other
primaries. A sample ballot in the
form above described will be found
elsewhere in this issue.
Sec. 10. Who May Vote. Only
those persons shall be entitled to vote
at any primary who are qualified cleo
tors residing in the precinct and duly
registered therein at the last general
election, or at the date of the pri-
mary. Every registered elector who
desires to vote at primary shall, in
person or by writing signed by him,
request that his name be entered on
the list of the party with which he
proposes to affiliate. This request
shall be made, at least sixty days be-
fore the primary at which he is to
vote, to one or more of the registrars
or deputy registrars of voters who
have jurisdiction in the precinct IN
which he is registered. If he has
been made an elector within less than
sixty days before the primary, his
name shall be put upon the party list
Of his choice as stated by him when
electors name has been placed, as
aforesaid, upon a party list, it may
be removed therefrom and placed up
on some other party list at his request.
which request shall be made in per-
son or by writing as before; but when
his name has been SO removed or
transferred he shall not vote at any
primary held within ninety days
thereafter. Party lists of the electors
who have declared their political af-
filiation as aforesaid shall be prepar-
ed by the registrars and furnished to
the ballot booth tenders of the pre-
cinct in which they are registered for
use at every primary election. When
an eIector removes from one precinct
to another and is registered in the
latter, his name shall also be placed
upon the same party list as in the pre-
cinct from which he removed, if re-
quested by him, and may be put there
without his request.
Sec II. Method of Voting. When
an e1ector desires to vote at a pri-
mary he shall demand from the bal
lot booth tenders q primary ballot of
the party on whose list his name ap-
pears, and when his name has been
found thereon and checked, he shall
receive one ballot of such party, but
otherwise he shall not receive or vote
a primary ballot. When an electOr
has received a primary ballot as afore-
said he shall proceed with it directly
to a voting booth, mark it, fold it so
as to conceal the markings and deIiv-
er it to the tender of a box to be pro-
vided for primary ballots, which shall
be used for that purpose alone and
marked primary The tender of
this box shall, without looking at the
markings on the ballot, deposit it in
the box after the name is checked No
eIector shall receive more than one
primary ballot, but if he SO defaces
or Injuries it as to render it unfit for
use he may deliver it to the modera-
tor to be destroyed, and after salts
flying the ballot booth tenders of that
fact receive another. If he does not
wish to vote in regular course the
ballot which he receives he shall like
wise return it to the moderator to be
destroyed. An elector may write or
paste a name in any of the blanks left
