HARRY W. NICE, GOVERNOR. 163
recorded and not indicating the candidates by a general desig-
nation as the candidates of any one political party. The
ballot-label shall not be read to such voter, nor shall any
suggestion of any kind be made by either of said judges to
show him as to how his choice shall be indicated, but the only
assistance which it shall be lawful for the judges to give him
is to move the vote indicators as he, without prompting or
suggestion from them or either of them, shall direct, but no
voter shall be assisted under this section until a majority of
the judges of election shall be satisfied of the truth of the fact
stated in such affidavit. Voters who are not unable, by reason
of blindness or physical disability, to operate the machine
without assistance shall not be entitled to receive assistance
in so doing. And with the exception in favor of persons blind
or incapable by reason of physical disability of operating a
voting machine without assistance, no distinction or discrimi-
nation in the matter of assistance in operating such machine
shall be made for or against any duly registered voter for any
other cause whatever. The voter shall state in his affidavit
the specific physical disability which requires him to receive
assistance, and the judges of election shall enter in writing
on the record of assisted voters: (1) the voter's name; and (2)
the specific physical disability which requires him to receive
assistance.
(c) If, however, any voter, after entering the voting machine
booth, and before the closing of such booth, shall ask for
further instructions concerning the matter of voting, then two
of the judges of opposite political parties shall give him such
instructions, but no such judge shall, in any manner, request,
suggest, or seek to persuade or induce any such voter to vote
any particular ticket, or for any particular candidate, or for
or against any particular question. After giving such instruc-
tions, and before the voter closes the booth or votes, the judges
shall retire, and the voter shall forthwith vote.
224-N. In primary elections, before a voter is admitted to
the voting machine, it shall be adjusted by the judge of elec-
tion in charge thereof so that such voter will only be able to
vote for the candidates of the party with which he is affiliated.
224-O.
At any general election, at which presidential electors are
to be chosen, the machine shall be so adjusted that each voter
shall be enabled to vote, by one operation, for all the presi-
dential electors of a party. For each party nominating presi-
dential electors, a ballot-label shall be provided, containing
only the words "Presidential Electors, " preceded by the name
of the party, and followed by the names of the candidates
