ART. 33] PEIMAEY ELECTIONS. 579

in the manner and form provided by this article for general elections,
and subject to all the regulations, requirements and provisions as pre-
scribed by this article for general elections, in so far as the same are
or may be applicable to said primary elections and except as may be
herein provided. And the provisions of the general election law, gov-
erning election contests, are hereby expressly declared to be applicable
to such primary elections. Challengers and watchers representing the
candidates in any said primary elections shall be allowed to be present
at the several voting places during the voting and counting of the bal-
lots, as provided in said Article 33, with respect to general elections
held thereunder. As each voter's name shall be entered in the poll
book, kept by the two clerks of election, there shall be entered opposite
lis name the name of the party whose candidate or candidates he voted
for; provided, that in primary elections to be held in the several coun-
ties of the State the name or initials of the judge of election shall be
placed upon the official envelope, and the stub or coupon provided for
herein for such official envelope shall be filled out and handled in every
respect similar to the coupon provided for official ballots at general elec-
tions for the State; and it shall not be lawful for the judges or clerks of

election to place their names or initials, or any other matter, upon the
official ballots; and it shall be lawful for every person having the qualifi-
cations of a voter for such primary elections under this article in the sev-
eral counties of the State to have his official ballot prepared before enter-

of elections as provided by this article, and it having been determined by
such judges that he is qualified to vote in such primaries, there shall
be given him by the proper election official a blank official ballot of the
political party in whose primaries he is entitled to vote, together with
an unsealed official envelope for the same party as provided herein;
but in the counties no ballot shall be handed or delivered to any voter
within one hundred feet of the election booth, or within the booth itself,
such act hereby being defined to be electioneering, except the unmarked
ballot herein required to be handed to him by the election official; he,
the voter, shall thereupon retire to one of the booths provided for the
purpose, taking with him said blank ballot, and shall there, with black
pencil and in the manner required by law, prepare such official ballot
for voting, or in the privacy of such booth he may exchange such ballot

for the official ballot or one of the official ballots which he may have
brought into such polling place with him previously prepared for vot-
ing, and while in such booth he shall place the official ballot he desires
to vote in the official envelope so provided, and seal the same; he shall
then hand to one of the judges of election the envelope so sealed con-
taining the official ballot he desires to cast, and the judge of election so

receiving such envelope and ballot shall, after detaching the coupon

attached thereto, deposit such envelope so sealed in the ballot box of the

voter's political party in the presence of the voter and of the other
judges of election; in such primary elections held in the several coun-
