The ballot paper shall be perforated by a line of points, along the line of black dots.

The names of the candidates shall be entered in the ballot peper, as in the nomination paper.

DIRECTIONS FOR THE GUIDANCE OF ELECTORS IN VOTING.

The elector is to vote only for one candidate.

The voter will go into one of the compartments, and, with a pencil there provided, place a cross opposite the name of the candidate for whom he votes.

The voter will then fold the ballot, so as to show a portion of the back only, and also in such manner as to permit the annex to be detached without unfolding the ballot paper; he will then deliver the ballot paper so folded to the deputy returning officer, who will place it in the ballot box, after having detached the annex. The voter will then forthwith quit the poll.

If a voter inadvertently spoil a ballot paper, he may return it to the proper officer, who, on being satisfied of the fact, will give him another.

If the elector vote for more than one candidate, or place any mark on the ballot paper, by which he can be afterwards identified, his vote shall be void, and not counted.

If the voter take a ballot paper out of the poll or fraudulently put into the ballot box any other paper than the ballot paper given him by the deputy returning officer, he will be subject to be punished by a fine of five hundred dollars, or imprisonment for six months. 38 V., c. 7., Appendix, Form O; 39 V., c. 13, s. 16; 46 V., c. 2, s. 4.
