type upon plain white printing paper of ordinary book weight
in black ink, and the names of all candidates and their several

point, generally known as pica type, one-eighth of an inch
high or in depth, and the printing of said names of said candi-
dates and of their respective party designations, shall also
be uniform in style and appearance throughout the ballot;
and it shall be the duty of the Board of Supervisors of Elec-
tions for Baltimore City and the Board of Supervisors of Elec-
tions for each county, to cause all ballots to be used by voters
of said city, and 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 county, congressional, legislative,
councilmanic or other district (but not the number or name
of the precinct), for which it is prepared, the date of the elec-
tion and a facsimile 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 ballot, and
binding on the upper edge thereof, but separated 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 name, and under the said line the words "Number of
Voter", followed by a blank space for the insertion of number.
Before distribution said ballot shall be folded in marked
creases that no part of the marks or printing thereon, except-
ing that upon the back and outside, and detachable stub
or coupon, shall be visible, and so that the folded ballot shall
be of uniform width and length and proper width to be de-
posited in the ballot-boxes. All ballots when printed shall
be folded as above provided, and fastened together in con-
venient numbers in packages, books or blocks, so that each
ballot may be detached and removed separately. The said
Boards of Supervisors of Elections, respectively, shall four
days at least prior to the day of any election in their respec-
tive counties and in said city, cause to be conspicuously and
securely posted in one or more public places in each voting
