INSTRUCTIONS FOR ELECTORS
The following instructions are prepared by the City Council
as required under Ordinance No. 32-65 of this City, and is intended
to assist you, the elector in preparing your paper ballot :
Before any ballot is delivered to an elector, one of the
inspectors shall affix his initials on the line provided on each
of the two ballot stubs and the elector shall sign his name on
the line of the top stub, and if he is unable to write, he shall
sign his mark with the assistance of one of the inspectors . The
inspector shall compare the signature on the ballot stub with the
signature on the elector' s registration and if necessary require
such other identification. If the inspector is reasonably sure
that the person is entitled to vote, he shall then detach and re-
tain the upper stub and the elector shall go to the booth and mark
his ballot and after he has marked his ballot he shall fold it so
as to leave the stub remaining attached visible so that it can be
detached without folding. The inspector shall compare it with the
stub he retained and if itis the ballot he delivered to the elector,
he shall detach and retain the remaining stub and the elector shall
then deposit the folded ballot in the ballot box. flit= if the
marked ballot returned proves to be a different one from the one
delivered to,, him, the inspectors shall then and thdre search the
elector and if the original ballot is found on or about his person,
the inspectors shall take possession of the ballot and discharge
the elector- from the polling place without permitting him to vote.
Inspectors of elections, where ballots are used, are clothed with
such police power as is necessary to carry out the provisions of
this section.
When the elector presents himself to vote, the election
official shall ascertain whether his name is upon the register
of electors, and if his name appears and no challenge interposes,
or if interposed, be not sustained, one of the election officials
stationed at the entrance shall announce the name of the elector
and permit him to enter through the entrance to the booth to cast
his vote, allowing only-one elector at a time to pass through to
vote. No elector, while receiving, preparing and casting his
ballot, shall occupy a booth longer than five (5) minutes or be
allowed to occupy a booth already occupied, or to speak with any-
one, while in the polling place. If an elector requires longer
than five (5) minutes, then upon a sufficient reason he may be
granted a longer period of time by the election official in charge.
After casting his vote, he shall at once leave the polling place
by the exit opening, and shall not be permitted to re-enter on
any pretext whatever. After the elector has voted, declined or
failed to vote within five (5) minutes, he shall immediately with-
draw from the place and go beyond the prohibited distance. If he
refuses to leave after the lapse of five (5) minutes, he shall be
removed bythe election officials .
Any elector who shall, by mistake, spoil a ballot, so he can-
not safely vote the same, may return it to the inspectors who shall
immediately detach the stub and destroy the ballot without examina-
tion, and give the elector another ballot. In no case shall an
elector be furnished with more than three (3) ballots, or carry a
ballot outside the polling room. The clerk of inspection shall
keep a record of all ballots destroyed.
Approved by the City( Council
of the City of Cape Canaveral
Florida.
