Section 4-128. Supplies; furnished by board of elections or city, town or village clerk

1. The board of elections of each  county  shall  provide
  the  requisite  number  of  official and facsimile ballots, two cards of
  instruction to voters in the form  prescribed  by  the  state  board  of
  elections,  at least one copy of the instruction booklet for inspectors,
  distance markers, tally sheets and return blanks, pens,  black  ink,  or
  ball point pens with black ink, pencils having black lead, envelopes for
  the  ballots  of  voters  whose registration poll records are not in the
  ledger or whose names are not on  the  computer  generated  registration
  list,  envelopes  for returns, identification buttons, badges or emblems
  for the inspectors and clerks in the form prescribed by the state  board
  of  elections  and such other articles of stationery as may be necessary
  for the proper conduct of elections, except that when a  town,  city  or
  village  holds  an election not conducted by the board of elections, the
  clerk of such town, city or village, shall  provide  such  official  and
  facsimile  ballots and the necessary blanks, supplies and stationery for
  such election.
    2. If the official ballots required to be furnished by  any  board  or
  officer  shall  not  be  delivered  to such board or officer at the time
  required, or if after delivery shall be lost, destroyed or stolen,  such
  board  or  officer shall cause other ballots to be prepared as nearly in
  the form of the official ballots as practicable, and  delivered  to  the
  inspectors  of  election.  Such  ballots  shall  be  known as unofficial
  ballots. Sample ballots of each kind shall be  printed  on  paper  of  a
  different  color from any of the official ballots and without numbers on
  the stubs, but in all other respects precisely similar to  the  official
  ballots.
