within the polling place.

a voting machine, for instruction of the voters. Such model shall be
placed in a prominent position within the polling place.

(3)    A seal, for sealing the machine after the polls are closed,
unless the construction of the machine is such that the machine is
automatically locked and sealed when the results are exposed; an
envelope for the return of the keys, if the construction of the
voting machine shall permit their separate return; and such other

16-11. Operation of machines.

(a)    The board shall deliver the keys which unlock the operating
mechanism and the registering counters or counter compartment
of the voting machine, to one of the judges not earlier than noon
of the Saturday preceding an election, nor later than three-quarters
of an hour before the time set for the opening of the polls, and shall
take his receipt therefor. The keys shall be enclosed in a sealed
envelope, on which shall be written or printed: (1) The number
of the voting machines; (2) the name or designation of the pre-
cinct; (3) the number of the seal; and (4) the number registered
on the protective counter or device as reported by the custodian.

(b)    The judges shall meet at their respective polls on election
day at least one-half hour before the opening of the polls, and shall
then inspect the equipment furnished. If at least two judges of
opposite party affiliation are present: (1) They shall open the en-
velope containing the keys to each voting machine and shall, except
in the case of machines so constructed as to furnish a printed or
photographic record of the setting of the counters and the numbers
registered thereon by voting, unlock the counter compartment to
ascertain whether the tabulating devices are all set at zero (000),
and whether the numbered seal on the operating lever is unbroken,
and that the number thereon is identical with the number certified
on the envelope containing said keys; (2) They shall also compare
the number appearing on the dials of the exposed counter designed
to register every consecutive operation of the machine with the
reading thereof noted on the envelope containing the keys. If the
machine is so constructed as to furnish a printed or photographic
record of the setting of the vote-registering counters as they appear
prior to the opening of the polls the counter compartment shall not
be opened nor shall the counters be exposed to view and such printed
or photographic record shall be examined in the same manner as
