12 shall proceed to arrange the furniture, stationery,
13 and voting machine for the conduct of the election.
14 The board shall cause at least two instruction cards
15 four sets of instructions to be posted conspicuously
16 within the polling place. If not previously done,
17 they shall arrange, in their proper place on the
18 voting machine, the ballots containing the names of

22 no vote has been cast, and shall not be thereafter
23 operated, except by electors in voting.
24 Before the polls are open for election, the board

44 in or by the receptacle or device for one or more
45 persons whose names do not appear upon the machine
46 with or without the names of one or more persons whose

50 appears on the machine as a nominated candidate for
Page 11
