The managers of election are urged to s* e that a free and im partial right to votq without in terference be granted to every qualified voter. In those precincts in which the Australian ballot w”! be used, the rules require that the manager shall be responsible ; for all ballots furnished, and when a voter presents himself he should be given a ballot*, and the voter shall immediately retire alone to one of the booths, and without un due delay prepare his ballot by scratching out the name of the candidates for whom he does not care to vote. No voter shall re main in the booth longer than five minutes. After preparing his ballot the voter shall present himself to the manager. His ballot must be folded in sdeh a way that the number can be seen, and the cou pon can be readily detached by the manager without in any way revealing the printed portion of the ballot. Under no condition or circumstances has anyone a right to know for whom a voter is cast ing a ballot. The secrecy of the ballot must be preserved. If a voter shall mar or deface a ballot he may obtain one addition al ballot upon returning to the manager in charge of the ballots the ballot so marred or defaced, with the coupon attached.

Immediately after a voter’s ballot has been prepared, the bystander so appointed shall immediately go behind the guard rail. Neither the bystander appointed to assist the voter or the manager has any right to suggest to the vot er the name or names of the candi date for whom he shall vote, and a violation of this rule will subject the voter to be challenged, and possibly result in a contest of the box. And the managers are strictly urged that they immed iately report any Interference with a voter’s right to select a candidate for whom he desires to cast his ballot. From the time of the opening of the poll until the announcement of the result and the signing of the official returns, no person shall be admitted to the polling place ex cept the manager, duly authorized watchers and challengers, the Chairman of the Executive Com mittee or member of the Executive Committee appointed in his stead to supervise this polling pla&e.
