⤴ Up to Article XI: Voting Machines

Statute Text

(a) During the thirty days next preceding an election, the county election board shall place on public exhibition, in such public places, and at such times as it may deem most suitable for the information and instruction of the voters, one or more voting machines, containing the ballot labels, and showing the offices and questions to be voted upon, the names and arrangements of parties, and, so far as practicable, the names and arrangements of the candidates to be voted for.

(c) Prior to any election, the county board may cause copies of any diagram or diagrams, required to be furnished with voting machines at polling places, to be made, either in full size or in reduced size, and to be posted, published, advertised or distributed among the electors in such manner as they may deem desirable.
