Instructions to Voter.
(a) You are only entitled to vote if your absence in the military or
naval service of the United States or the State of Maryland is directly
attributable to the existence of a state of war, or other circumstances
which caused the suspension of any of the general election laws. If
your absence is not so caused, and you attempt to vote the enclosed
ballot, you will be liable to a fine or* not more than one thousand dol-
lars ($1,000.00), or imprisonment for not more than two (2) years, or
both.
(b) If you are entitled to vote, mark your ballot and seal it in the
"Ballot Envelope" in the presence of a witness, but in such manner as
to prevent such witness, or anyone else, from learning how you voted
as to any candidate or proposition.
*Evidently a typographical error in the act.
