Mail this coupon, with I in coin or stamps, to ' McKesson & Robbins, | Bridgeport, Conn., Dept. | B-2. | I ADDRESS- At a meeting of the county Dem ocratic Executive Committee on Thursday, July 25th, it was unanimously decided that a strict enforcement of the rules of the party will be required at the pri mary election to be held on August 27th. The managers of election are urged to see that a free and im partial right to vote without in terference be granted to every qualified voter. In those precincts in which the Australian ballot will be used, the rules require that the managers 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 him self to the manager. His ballot must be folded in such a way that the number can be seen, and the coupon 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. No vot er shall be given a second ballot until he has returned the first one with the coupon attached. In those precincts where the Australian ballot is not to be used the Manager shall account for every ballot furnished, and under no circumstances shall a voter, candidate or anyone else be given but one ballot, and then only when he presents himself to vote. No person shall be allowed with in the guard rail except as herein after provided. The ballot boxes and the booths shall be surrounded by a rail placed twenty-five feet away from said ballot boxes and booths and no person or persons except the members of the Execu tive Committee and Police Officers shall be allowed within the rail. If a voter cannot read or write, or is physically disabled, and by reason thereof did not sign the en rollment book, he may appeal to the manager for assistance and the chairman of the managers shall appoint one of the managers and a bystander to be designated by the voter, to assist him in pre paring his ballot. Immediately after a voter’s ballot has been pre pared, 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 voter the name or names of the candidate for whom he shall vote, and a violation of this rule will subject the voter to be chal lenged, and possibly result in a contest of the box. And the man agers are strictly urged that they immediately report any inter ference 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 except the manager, duly authorized watchers and chal lengers, the Chairman of the Ex ecutive Committee or member of the Executive Committee appointed in his stead to supervise this poll ing place. Provided, that candidates voted for at such polling places may be present at the canvass of the votes, and provided further, that the canvass of the votes shall be open to the public. In the event that there is any interference with the right of the voter to cast his ballot or any ob struction of the voting, it shall be the duty of the managers to sus pend the election until order is restored, or as may be provided by the rules of the party. Upon the close of the election, managers shall account to the Ex ecutive Committee for all ballots deMvered to them and make the following returns: (1). The num ber of official ballots furnished to each nolline nlace: (2). The num ber of official ballots spoiled and returned by voters: (3). The num ber of official ballots returned to the Executive Committee: (4). The number of official ballots actually voted. Those desiring to vote by mail shall make application in writing for a ballot to the Committee on Enrollment or Club Secretary of his precinct, not less than five days or more than sixty days prior to the primary in which he desires to vote. The Committee on Enroll ment or Club secretary shall up on receipt of the application for ballot, if the applicant is duly reg istered in that precinct, enroll the name and address of the appli cant on a list to be kept by them for that purpose, and deliver to applicant in person, or forward to applicant by registered mail the necessary forms and ballot for voting by mail. The Executive Committee strong ly urges co-operation on the part of the candidates, managers and voters for a strict enforcement of the rules. List Of Managers Of 1st Primary Election, 1940.
