Theodore R. McKeldin, Governor                   1237

to the judge at the ballot box, and the judge shall deposit his ballot
in the box, having first detached therefrom its coupon, which he shall
then string upon a cord or wire to be provided for the purpose. The
said voter shall forthwith leave the enclosed space.

(d)  Record of Voting. The judges having charge of the registers
shall in the column therein headed "Voted" in the same line with the
name of the voter mark the word "Voted" or the letter "V".

(e)  Ballots without Indorsements. No ballot without the indorse-
ment of the name or initials of the judge thereon, as hereinbefore
provided, shall be deposited in said ballot-box, but if deposited shall
be counted for the purpose of ascertaining the number of people
voting and the judges shall in ink mark on the back thereof the word
"Counted" and endorse their names.

108.   Errors in Registration. No one who is not registered as a
qualified voter of the precinct shall be entitled to vote or to receive
a ballot; but no vote shall be rejected because of an error in the
spelling of the voter's name or because of the wrongful omission or
addition of one or more initials of his middle name or names, or be-
cause the voter gives the initials, one or more of his Christian or
given name or names, instead of his full name, or one or more of his
Christian or given name or names, instead of the initial or initials
thereof, or because of an error in the number of his residence on the
register, provided a majority of the judges are satisfied that the
person offering to vote is the identical person who is registered, and
that he intended to register his true name and residence.

109.   Challenging Right to Vote. When anyone claiming to be a
person whose name appears upon the registers shall make applica-
tion for a ballot, his right to vote at that election may be challenged,
but shall not be determined until after he has marked his ballot and
delivered it to the judge at the ballot box. The person challenging
shall assign his reason therefor, and one of the judges shall thereupon
administer to the person offering to vote an oath to make true answers
to questions. If he shall take said oath, he shall be questioned by the
judge or judges touching said cause of challenge, and he may also be
questioned by the person challenging him in regard thereto, and if
a majority of the judges are of the opinion that he is the person so
registered, his vote shall be received accordingly. Unless a majority
of the judges are of the opinion that the person so challenged is
entitled to vote, the judge at the ballot box shall endorse upon his
ballot the word "Rejected", and return the same still folded, and with
its coupon attached, to the judge holding the ballots. In such event
the clerks of election shall draw a line through the name and number
of said person as entered on their poll books, and write thereafter
the word "Rejected".

110.  Spoiled Ballots. Any voter who, by accident or mistake, shall
spoil his ballot so that he cannot conveniently vote the same, may on
returning said spoiled ballot to the judge holding the ballots, receive
another in place of it, with his name and the same number written
on the coupon thereof, as on the ballot so returned. No voter shall
receive more than three ballots from said judge for the reason afore-
said. The ballots thus returned shall be immediately cancelled by
endorsing thereon the word "Spoiled", and together with those not
distributed to the voters, shall be preserved and returned to the
