ART. XXXIII] ELECTIONS. 249
Judges and Clerks of Election.
7.
This section referred to in construing section 8; see notes thereto.
Election Supervisors v. Loden, 120 Md. 280.
8.
The veto when exercised, as provided by this section, prevents the
selection of any judge or clerk proposed for selection: thereafter the other
two supervisors may not appoint a person so vetoed. When the board can-
not agree upon an appointment and the two majority supervisors are to
name three men to the minority supervisor from whom he makes a selec-
tion, the selection of these names must be by agreement and by the joint
act of the majority supervisors. Election Supervisors v. Loden, 129 Md.
280.
To the note to this section on page 842 of volume 1 of the Annotated
Code, add Election Supervisors v. Loden, 129 Md. 284.
1904, art. 33, sec. 10. 1898, ch. 385. 1902, chs. 290, 343, 539. 1904, ch. 325,
secs. 9A-9E. 1908, ch. 492. 1910, ch. 291 (p. 100). 1914,

10. The judges and clerks appointed by the .Board of Supervisors
of Elections for the several counties of the State shall not be required
to appear before the said Board of Supervisors of Election for the pur-
pose of examination nor to be sworn in as required by Section 9 of this
Article, but the said Boards of Supervisors of Election for the several
counties, before making appointments of any such judges or clerks, shall
thoroughly inform themselves as to the qualifications of the parties
appointed, and shall not require their attendance before the said Board
for such examination, and they shall appoint only such person; as are
known to them to possess the proper qualifications for the position to
which they are severally appointed, and the said persons may be sworn
in either by said board or by a justice of the peace or notary public of
the said county, and when sworn in by a justice of the peace or notary
public, such judges and clerks shall file with said board of supervisors
a certificate of qualification.
12.
The duty of supervisors of election is to provide a suitable polling place
within the limits of each precinct; the fact, however, that a polling room
is located slightly within the lines of another precinct of the same election
district does not justify the rejection of the votes cast thereat. This con-
clusion is not affected by article 1, sections 1 and 5 of the Maryland Con-
stitution. Various irregularities in an election held not sufficeintly serious
to justify a recanvass. Smith v. Hackett, 129 Md. 75.
