1038 ELECTIONS. [ART. 33

shall be the duty of the board of supervisors of elections for
Baltimore city and of the board of supervisors of elections for
each county to cause all ballots to be used by the voters of
said city and of the several counties to be printed in manner
and form as aforesaid. On the back and outside of all ballots
shall be printed the words "Official Ballot For," followed by
the designation of the polling place for which it is prepared,
the date of the election and a fac simile of the signature of the
president of the board of supervisors of elections by whom
the ballots have been prepared. Said ballot shall be printed on
the same 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 separ-
ated 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," followed by
a blank space for the insertion of number. Before distribution
said ballots 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 uni-
form 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 super-
visors 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, accurate sample copies of
the ballots to be used in such district or precinct, at the then
approaching election; such sample copies shall be printed on
light cardboard of heavy-sized paper of considerably magnified
dimensions, 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.
