are marked for any office than there are persons to be voted
for, such ballots shall not be counted for such candidates or
delegates, as the case may be, but the whole ballot shall not for
that reason be rejected for candidates for other offices, if any,
and a ballot marked by any other than a black pencil shall not
be counted. No vote shall be counted for any person whose
name is cancelled, and the names of those voted for are to be
indicated (and so considered and counted) by the absence of
any cancellation of their names. And one of the judges, in the
presence of the other, shall open the envelopes, take the ballots
therefrom and hand them separately to be canvassed by another
of the judges, sitting where the other judges and the watchers
can see the same. The judge canvassing the ballots shall call
out the name of each candidate voted for and the designation
of the position for which he is voted for, the other judge
looking at the ballot at the same time, and the clerks shall, as
the names are called, make proper tally of the same 'on tally
sheets provided for the purpose. When all of the ballots have
been canvassed in this manner, the primary election clerks
shall compare their tallies together, and ascertain the total
number of votes received by each person voted for, and when
they agree upon the number, one of them shall announce in a
loud voice to the judges and watchers the aggregate number
of the votes received by each candidate. If requested by any
watcher or challenger present in any canvass, it shall be the
duty of the judges and each of them to exhibit to such watcher
or challenger any envelope and any ballot cast, fully open or in
such manner or condition that he may fully examine the same,
but the judges shall not allow any ballot to be taken from their
hands; as the envelopes are opened, each shall be strung upon
strong twine or wire and likewise the ballots, as counted, shall
also be strung.

nouncement of the result, the poll book, oaths, tally sheets,
certified copy of registration and the ballots cast and counted
shall be placed in the ballot box, together with a package con-
taining the ballots not counted as aforesaid, marked "defect-

Thereupon the judges of election shall all write their names
upon a strip of paper of sufficient length for the following pur-
poses, said strip of paper shall then be pasted over the key
hole of said ballot box, and over the slit in the lid in such man-
ner that the signature shall extend across the place of opening
of the lid, and so that when the box is opened it will tear the
paper and destroy the signature, and so that when the key is
