  • The clerk of the tribe shall provide a
      sufficient number of ballot-boxes so that  there  shall  be  a  separate
      ballot-box  for  each officer to be elected, the expense for which shall
      be paid from the moneys due to the tribe  from  the  state.  The  county
      attorney  or  the  sheriff  of  Franklin  county  and the members of the
      council who are not then candidates for election shall  preside  at  the
      election,  receive  the ballots presented by the voters and deposit them
      in the respective ballot-boxes. Such council members and county attorney
      or sheriff shall each be entitled to receive for such services  the  sum
      of  twenty  dollars  per day for each day during which they are actually
      employed with such duties, to be paid out of the moneys due  such  tribe
      from  the  state.  The  polls of such election shall be open between the
      hours of nine o'clock in the morning and five o'clock in the  afternoon.
      A  voter  voting at such election must, if challenged, before depositing
      his ballot, solemnly swear that he is at least eighteen  years  of  age,
      that  he  resides  on  the American side of the line dividing the United
      States from Canada and that he is entitled to draw a share of the yearly
      annuity moneys, which oath shall be administered by  the  clerk  of  the
      tribe.
