Section 8-310. Voting; paper ballot, delivery to voter
Latest version.
-
If paper ballots are being used, one of the clerks, or if there be no clerks the inspector assigned to the duty of delivering ballots, shall deliver to the voter one paper ballot or set of paper ballots, in the numerical order of the ballot or set, beginning with number one, and shall at the same time announce, loudly and distinctly, the number on the stub or stubs thereof. If the ballots are in sets, they shall be delivered in sets. If a new ballot or set of ballots be lawfully delivered to the same voter, a similar announcement shall be made as to the number of the stub or stubs of each new ballot or set delivered. Each ballot, when delivered, shall be folded in the proper manner for voting, which is: first, by bringing the bottom of the ballot up to the perforated line, and second, by folding both sides to the center or toward the center in such manner that when folded the face of each ballot shall be concealed, and the printed number on the stub and the indorsement on the back of the ballot shall be visible, so that the stub can be removed without removing any other part of the ballot and without exposing any part of the face of the ballot below the stub, and so that when folded the ballot shall not be more than four inches wide. The number on each ballot or set of ballots so delivered, as printed on the stub or stubs, shall be entered forthwith opposite the name of the voter in the proper place in the registration poll record or next to his name on the computer generated registration list. No person other than an inspector or clerk shall deliver to any voter within the guard rail any ballot, and they shall deliver only such ballots as the voter is legally entitled to vote, other than sample ballots.
