ATTENTION VOTERS!
Study this sample voting machine ballot label and
these instructions for operating the voting machine.
It will help you in voting.
I. PULL THE RED HANDLE OF THE CURTAIN LEVER TO THE RIGHT as far as it will go. This will close the curtain around you and unlock the machine for voting.
II. VOTING
A. CANDIDATES
1. VOTING FOR CANDIDATES ON THE BALLOT.
Pull DOWN the pointer over the name of each candidate for whom you wish to vote and leave the pointer down, thus
In the case of an office for which you may vote for two or more candidates, you may turn DOWN the proper number of pointers anywhere in that group even though one may be directly below the other.
2. WRITE-IN VOTING
GENERALLY. If you wish to cast a write-in vote for a registered write-in candidate for a particular office, make certain that the pointers are UP over the names of all candidates in that office column. Then push UP the slide at the top of the column whose number corresponds to the number printed on the ballot label above the office for which you are voting, and hold it up. On the paper under the slide, write the name of the person for whom you wish to vote.
Where you may vote for two or more candidates for a particular office, (1) the number of pointers left down (if any) over the names of candidates for such office plus the number of write-in votes may not exceed the number for whom you may vote for office, and (2) you can operate a number of write in slides which is not greater than the number for whom you may vote for said office less the number of pointers left down over the names of candidates therefor.
B. QUESTIONS
Turn DOWN a pointer over the "YES" or "NO" of each question to be voted upon.
III. LEAVE THE POINTERS DOWN over the names of the candidates for whom you wish to vote, and DOWN over the "YES" or "NO" of each question on which you wish to vote.
IV. MOVE THE RED HANDLE OF THE CURTAIN LEVER TO THE LEFT as far as it will go, and leave it there.
EXPLANATION
No votes are registered until you move the curtain lever back to the left to open the curtain. You may make as many changes as you wish in you vote while the curtain lever is at the right side (with the exception of write-in slides which, when opened, limit the number of pointers which can be turned down for candidates for that office).
No one will know how you vote, because the movement of the curtain lever to the left returns the pointers to their original position before the curtain opens.
