SUGGESTIONS TO VOTERS. Give your name and residence to the ballot clerk, who, on finding your name on the check list, will admit you within the rail and hand you a ballot. Go alone to one of the voting shelves and there unfold your ballot. Mark a cross X in the square at the right of the name of each person for whom you wish to vote. No other method of marking, such as erasing names, will an. swer. Thus, if you wished to vote for John Bowles for Governor, you would mark your ballot in this way : If you wish to vote for a person whose name is not on the ballot, write, or insert by a sticker, the name in the blank line at the end of the list of candidates for the office, and mark a cross X in the square at the right of it. Thus, if you wished to vote for George T. Morton, of Chelsea, for Governor, you would prepare your ballot in this way: Notice, that for some offices you may vote for "two" or "three" candidates, as stated in the ballot at the right of the name of the office to be voted for, e. g.: "COMMISSIONERS OF INSOLVENCY. Vote for THREE." If you spoil a ballot, return it to the ballot clerk, who will give you another. You cannot have more than two extra ballots, or three in all. You cannot remain within the rail more than ten minutes, and in case all the shelves are in use and other voters waiting, you are allowed only five minutes at the voting shelf. Before leaving the voting shelf, fold your ballot in the same way as it was folded when you received it, and keep it so folded until you place it in the ballot box. Do not show any one how you have marked your ballot. Go to the ballot box and give your name and residence to the officer in charge. Put your folded ballot in the box with the certificate of the Secretary of the Commonwealth uppermost and in sight. You are not allowed to carry away a ballot, whether spoiled or not. A voter who declares to the presiding official (under oath, if required) that he was a voter before May 1, 1857, and cannot read, or that he is blind or physically unable to mark his ballot, can receive the assistance of one or two of the election officers in the marking of his ballot.
