1530 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 934

voters' certificates shall be wrapped and sealed in a separate
package, marked "Unused and Spoiled Voters' Certificates, "
bearing the signatures of the judges; and likewise returned to
the said Board with other election equipment.

(g) In primary elections, before a voter is admitted to the
voting machine, it shall be adjusted by the judge of election
in charge thereof, so that such voter shall only be able to vote
for the candidates of the party with which he is affiliated.

(h) No voter shall have the right to remain within the
voting machine booth longer than two minutes if there are
other voters awaiting an opportunity to register their votes;
nor shall any voter occupy such voting machine booth longer
than seven minutes.

87. (a) The judges of election shall, with the aid of the dia-
grams authorized in Section 85 of this Article and the mechani-
cally operated model, instruct each voter, before he enters the
voting machine booth, regarding the operation of the machine,
and shall give the voter opportunity personally to operate the
model.

(b) No voter shall be permitted to receive any assistance
in voting at any election, unless he shall declare under oath
to the judges of election that by reason of blindness or physi-
cal disability he is unable to read the names upon the ballot-
labels or to see the machine, or, without assistance, to prepare
it for voting, or enter the voting machine booth without as-
sistance. Upon making and filing with the judges such affi-
davit, the voter shall retire to a voting machine, with two of
the judges of opposite political parties, and then and there
one of said judges in the presence of the other shall operate
the machine as such voter shall direct, the voter himself nam-
ing one by one the candidates for whom he desires his vote
to be recorded and not indicating the candidates by a general
designation 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 sugges-
tion 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 convinced 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 discrimination
