in the appropriate block after each constitutional amendment,
referendum or any other question (if any appear on the bal-
lot), for or against which you wish to vote. Be sure not to
vote for any number of candidates for any office greater than
the number specified over the names of candidates for that
office. The ballot should be marked secretly. DO NOT SIGN

the date, sign his name and indicate his rank or official posi-

of your choice for such office.
