Theodore R. McKeldin, Governor                   1227

91.   Counter-Appeal. If said petition specified only a part of the
precincts in which the petitioner was voted for, and if on completion
of said review and recount of such specified precincts the result of
the count of the judges of election in said county, municipality, dis-
trict or other political division is thereby changed, then the opposing
candidate thus affected may appeal within two days of the said deter-
mination. Such counter-appeal shall be to the Supervisors of Elec-
tions, from the action and decision of the judges of election in count-
ing the ballots and/or certifying the votes recorded upon the voting
machines in the remaining precincts of said county, municipality,
ward, legislative district or other political division in which he was
voted for. Such counter-appeal shall act as a request upon the Super-
visors to recount and recanvass said remaining precincts, which they
shall immediately proceed to do. In each such case the cost of the
completion of said recount and recanvass shall be paid by the county
or municipality, as the case may be
SAID OPPOSING CANDIDATE
OR THE MUNICIPALITY OR COUNTY, AS THE CASE MAY
BE., IN THE MANNER PRESCRIBED IN SECTION 90 HEREOF.

92.   Correction of Returns. (a) New Certificate. Whenever such
appeal from the determination and action of the judges of election is

held as aforesaid and completed, the said Supervisors shall correct
the returns and certificates which may have been made of said pri-
mary election by any canvassing board.

(b)  Effect on Canvass. Upon such petition for recount as is herein
provided for being filed before the completion of any canvass by the
canvassing board of any county or municipality thereof, such board
shall complete its canvass of the original returns from each polling
place but shall then adjourn over, until the recount and recanvass
herein provided for shall have been completed. Thereupon said
board shall make its certificate conform to the action and finding and
to the certificate given by said Supervisors of Elections, so sitting as
judges of election on the recount or counter-appeal.

(c)   Saving Clause. Nothing in this sub-title shall affect or preju-
dice any rights of
any person to contest the result of any primary
election or to institute proceedings to invalidate the same.

BALLOTS AND BALLOT BOXES

93.   Preparation of Printed Ballots, (a) Names of Candidates.
It shall be the duty of the Board of Supervisors of Elections of each
county and of the City of Baltimore to provide ballots for every elec-
tion for public officers held under this Article in which any voters
within the county or said city shall participate, except in those
precincts in which voting machines shall be used. The Board shall
have printed on the ballots the name of every candidate whose name
has been certified to or filed with proper officers in the manner herein
provided by a political party organization or body of individuals. The
Supervisors shall not be required to print any name upon a ballot if
the name shall not have been certified to them at least sixty days
before election day.

(b) Other Ballots. Ballots other than those printed by the respec-
tive Boards of Supervisors of Elections, according to the provisions
of this Article, shall not be cast or counted in any election except as
