every candidate whose name has been certified to or filed with
the proper officers in the manner herein provided by such
political party organization or body of individuals; but the
said supervisors shall not be required to print any name upon
a ballot if such name shall not have been certified to them at
least six days before election day. Each ballot shall contain
a statement of every constitutional amendment or other ques-
tion to be submitted to the vote of the people at any election.
Ballots other than those printed by the respective boards of
supervisors of elections, according to the provisions of this
article, shall not be cast or counted in any election except as
hereinafter provided. Nothing in this article contained shall
prevent any voter from writing on his ballot and marking in
the proper place the name of any person other than those
already printed for whom he may desire to vote for any office,
and such votes shall be counted the same as if the name of
such person had been printed upon the ballot and marked by
the voter. Any voter may take with him into the polling
place any written or printed memorandum or paper to assist
him in marking or preparing his ballot, except a fac-simile of
the ballot to be voted. Ballots shall be printed and in posses-
sion of the supervisors of elections at least four days before
election day, and a correct list of the names of the candidates
thereon with the designation of the offices for which the persons
named thereon are candidates shall be furnished on demand
by the supervisors to the candidates or their authorized agents.
If any mistake be discovered, it shall be the duty of said
supervisors to correct the same without delay, and if said
supervisors shall decline or refuse to make correction, then
upon the sworn petition of any qualified voter who would have
the right to vote for such candidate at the approaching election,
the circuit court for any county, or one of the judges of the
supreme bench of Baltimore city may, by order, require said
supervisors of elections to correct such error or to show cause
why such error should not be corrected.
