  cities of New York, Buffalo and Rochester  and  to  the  clerk  of  each
  village  in  the county in which elections are conducted by the board of

  applications for registration by mail; sufficient ledger seals and other
  supplies  and  equipment  required by this article to be provided by the

  The town, city or village clerk shall call at the office of  such  board
  of  elections  at  such  time  and  receive  such  ballots, supplies and
  equipment. In the cities of New York, Buffalo and Rochester the board of
  elections shall  cause  such  ballots,  supplies  and  equipment  to  be
  delivered   to  the  board  of  inspectors  of  each  election  district
  approximately one-half hour before the opening of the polls for  voting,
  and shall take receipts therefor.
2.  The  board of elections shall provide for each election district a
  ledger or ledgers containing the registration poll records or lists with
  computer generated facsimile signatures, of all persons entitled to vote
  in such election district  at  such  election.  Such  ledgers  shall  be
  labelled, sealed, locked and transported in locked carrying cases. After
  leaving  the  board of elections no such carrying case shall be unlocked
  except at the time and in the manner provided in this chapter.
3. Each kind of official ballot shall be arranged in a package in  the
  consecutive  order of the numbers printed on the stubs thereof beginning

  they were prepared.  The  other  supplies  provided  for  each  election
  district also shall be enclosed in a sealed package, or packages, with a
  label on the outside thereof showing the contents of each package.
4.  All such packages so received and marked for any election district
  shall be delivered unopened and with the seals thereof unbroken  to  the
  inspectors  of  election  of  such  election districts at least one hour
  before the opening of the polls of such election therein, who shall give
  a receipt therefor specifying the number and kind of packages delivered.

  to the inspectors or presiding officers of the election at each  polling
  place  at  which  such meetings and elections are held, respectively, in
  like sealed packages marked on the outside in  like  manner,  and  shall
  take receipts therefor in like manner.
