VOTING WITH PAPER BALLOTS

105. Voting Booths. (a) Construction. In those precincts in
which paper ballots are used for voting, the Supervisors of Elections
shall provide in each room designated by them as polling places, a
sufficient number of voting booths or compartments, in which voters
may conveniently mark their ballots. Said booths or compartments
shall be constructed of plank not less than one inch in thickness or
of substantial metallic or other material. They shall be of such
width, depth and height that the voter in marking his ballot therein
shall be screened from the observations of others, and for this purpose
a short curtain shall be hung across the front of each compartment
at a convenient height, and so as to extend a little below the shelf
hereinafter mentioned. Each compartment shall have a shelf therein,
and shall be provided with indelible pencils for marking the ballots.

(b)  Guard-rail. A guard-rail shall be constructed in said polling
place, so as to divide the space occupied by the judges of election
and other officials and persons permitted by law to be within the
the same from the public; said guard-rail shall have an entrance and
exit thereto and shall be so constructed and placed that only persons
who are inside said rail can approach within five feet of the ballot
boxes. The arrangement of such polling places shall be such that
neither the ballot boxes nor the voting booths or compartments shall
be hidden from view of those just outside of said guard-rail. No
person other than voters engaged in preparing or depositing their
ballots, and the election officers, shall be permitted to be within said
rail, unless by authority of the judges of election, for the purpose of
keeping order and enforcing the law. The ballot box shall be within
said rail and not more than six feet therefrom.

(c)  Number. The number of such compartments shall be not less
than one for every one hundred voters qualified to vote at such poll-
ing place in Baltimore City. It shall be not less than five in any
polling place in said city, and not less than three in any polling place
in any county.

(d)  Expense. The expense of providing election booths or com-
partments and guard-rail shall be a public charge and after the elec-
