leaf, with a detachable stub or coupon one inch high and
three inches wide, above the upper right-hand corner of the
ballot, and binding on the upper edge thereof, but separated
therefrom by a line running along the entire width of said
coupon. Upon said coupon shall be printed the words "Voter's
Name, " with a line drawn thereunder for writing said name,
and under the said line the words "Number of Voter, " fol-
lowed by a blank space for the insertion of number. Before
distribution said ballot shall be so folded in marked creases
that no part of the marks or printing thereon, excepting that
upon the back and outside, and that upon the detachable
stub or coupon, shall be visible, and so that the folded ballot
shall be of uniform width and length and of proper width to-
be deposited in the ballot boxes. All ballots when printed
shall be folded as above provided, and fastened together in
convenient numbers in packages, books or blocks, so that each
ballot may be detached and removed separately. The said
Boards of Supervisors of Elections, respectively, shall four
days at least prior to the day of any election in their respective
counties and in said city, cause to be conspicuously and
securely posted in one or more public places in each voting
precinct of their respective counties or of said city in which
paper ballots shall be used, accurate sample copies of the
ballots to be used in such precinct, at the then approaching
election; such sample copies shall be printed on light card-
board or heavy sized paper of dimensions and type of the
same size as that used in printing the official ballots, and
one of them at least shall be placed upon the exterior of each
building in which the polls will be held, so that the same can
be readily seen and examined by persons passing on the street
or road.

66. The Supervisors of Elections shall provide for each elec-
tion precinct in the several counties and in the City of Balti-
more in which paper ballots shall be used, a package of ballots;
containing at least as many ballots as there are voters shown
by the last preceding registration in said precinct, and shall
cause such package to be sealed and clearly marked on the
outside of its wrapper with the name of the precinct or polling
place for which it is intended and the number of ballots en-
closed. The said package of ballots shall be delivered to the
judges of elections with the ballot boxes, poll books, blanks
and stationery, as provided in Section 67 of this Article. The
Supervisors of Elections shall also cause to be printed a
surplus number of ballots equal to twenty-five per centum
of the total number of voters as shown by the registry books
in those precincts of any county, congressional, legislative or
councilmanic or other district in which paper ballots shall be
