Rule No. 7. Subject to the foregoing rules if the voter marks more names than there are persons to be elected to an office, or if for any other reason it is impossible to determine the voter's choice of a candidate for an office to be filled, his vote shall not be counted for such office but shall be returned as a blank vote for such office. Rule No. 8. In the case of a question submitted, if the voter shall have made a voting mark in the voting space after the printed word "Yes," his vote shall be deemed to be in favor of the adoption of the question submitted; if he shall have made a voting mark in the voting space following the printed word "No," his vote shall be deemed to be against the adoption of the question submitted. Rule No. 9. A void ballot is a ballot upon which there shall be found any mark other than a cross X mark made for the purpose of voting, which voting mark must be made with a pencil having black lead, only in the circles or in the voting spaces to the left of the names of candidates; or one upon which anything is written other than the name or names of persons not printed upon the ballot, for whom the voter desires to vote, which must be written in the blank column under the proper title of the office with a pencil having black lead; or one which is defaced or torn by the voter; or upon which there shall be found any erasure of any 3 Word "single" omitted.
