HARRY W. NICK, GOVERNOR. 189

76-A. The provisions of Sections 73, 74, 75 and 76 of this
Article shall not apply to elections held in those precincts in
which voting machines shall be used.

77. Any voter who shall, by accident or mistake, spoil his
ballot so that he cannot conveniently vote the same may, on
returning said spoiled ballot to the judge holding the ballots,
receive another in place of it, with his name and the same
number written on the coupon thereof, as on the ballot so
returned, but no voter shall receive more than three ballots
from said judge for the reason aforesaid. The ballots thus
returned shall be immediately cancelled by endorsing thereon
the word "spoiled, " and, together with those not distributed
to the voters, shall be preserved and returned to the Super-
visors of Elections, as hereinafter provided. Every voter who
does not vote any ballot delivered to him shall, before leav-
ing the polling place, return such ballot to the judge from
whom he received it, and said returned ballot shall be re-
tained as if said ballot had been spoiled. When anyone
claiming to be a person whose name appears upon the regis-
ters shall make application for a ballot, his right to vote at
that election may be challenged, but shall not be determined
until after he has marked his ballot and delivered it to the
judge at the ballot box. The person challenging shall assign
his reason therefor, and one of the judges shall thereupon
administer to the person offering to vote an oath to make true
answers to questions, and if he shall take said oath, he shall
be questioned by the judge or judges touching said cause of
challenge, and he may also be questioned by the person chal-
lenging him in regard thereto, and if a majority of the judges
are of opinion that he is the person so registered, Ms vote
shall be received accordingly. No one who is not registered
as a qualified voter of the precinct shall be entitled to vote
or to receive a ballot, but no vote shall be rejected because
of an error in the spelling of the voter's name or because of the
wrongful omission or addition of one or more initials of his
middle name or names, or because the voter gives the initials,
one or more of his Christian or given name instead of his full
name or one or more of his Christian or given name or names,
instead of the initial or initials thereof, or because of an error
in the number of his residence on the register, provided a
majority of the judges are satisfied that the person offering
to vote is the identical person who is registered, and that he
intended to register his true name and residence. Unless a
majority of the judges are of the opinion that the person so
challenged is entitled to vote, the judge at the ballot box
shall endorse upon his ballot the word "rejected, " and return
the same still folded, and with its coupon attached, to the
