The new election law enacted by the Leg islature of 18SO, Act No. 263, will be in force at the coming election, ami as it pro vides for quite important changes a brief synopsis of Its most important provisions, as compiled by tho Midland Republican, - Is here given, especially those making the most marked changes: 1. The boxes, tho election feal and the manner of sealing are about the same as heretofore. 2. No tickets can be used or circulated unless furnished by the Secretary of State, and It Is his duty to furnish them on appli cation and payment therefor by party com mittees; (whether this applies to the County or State tickets, we don't undertake to say.) 3. All ballots are to be of the same width and length, with no Impression, device, color or thing on the outside designed or liable to distinguish one from another. , 4. The State Central, Cmty or other managing committee of any political party Is to prepare and adopt a heading for the party ticket, to be printed at the top of the ticket, inside, and to show the party name, and in what congressional, senatorial and representative and senatorial districts, and county it may be used. A copy of each party ticket, with this head is to be filed In a sealed envelope, with the County Clerk at least ten days before tho election. There is a heavy penalty for counterfeiting such bal lot. , 5. Penalty for printing, circulating, dis tributing or causing to be distributed, balllot or ballots having Uie heading viguette, or any imitation of it, with name of any candi date changed, may reach f 1,000 fine and a year in State prison. But any voter may, ror mmseir, erase or insert any name in writing or with printed slips. 6. The ballot must be folded by the voter before handing to the Inspector of election, so that the names will no; show. The chai r man of the inspectors will put a rubber band around it and put it in the box (sub ject to the usual challenging, oath etc.) . 7. Each party may have a challenger, who is to have a place inside the polling in cisure, and he may stay until the ballots are counted and the returns signed, 8. The usual prceedings In case of chal lenges are provided for, there being five forms of oath for the various cases. False swearing lays one name to me penalties or perjury. Inspectors are required to chal lenge those they believe or suspect to be not qualified voters. 9. In all cities and villages, and to town ship having 100 or more voters, a railing or fence four feet high shall (and in towns with less than 100 may) be placed through and across the center of the room where the election is held, with a gate therein, the gate to be in charge of agate keeper, no per son to go inside the railing except the voter. Having voted the elector shall at once go out. No more are to be allowed within at . one time than there are booths, one booth being required at each polling place, and no less than one for every hundred voters, and one additional If there be twenty-five voters more than the exact hundredths. The booth or temporary room to be not less than six feet high, and to be where the voter will pass through It and be concealed from view. Within this booth before polls open the hi -spectors shall cause to be placed tickets of all political parties and slips of the several candidates if desired and furnished by them, and shall keep a supply of tickets therein. In towns where there are no booths, a tpble or desk Is to be provided for the tickets, the railing and booths being optional witli the township board in towns having less than 100 voters. ; 10. At close of polls the number having voted Is to be set down on poll list and sign ed by inspectors. The ballot box must be well shaken, .then opened, ballots taken but by one of the Inspectors, one by one, opened, office and name read distinctly, the clerks tallying accordingly, one for each candidate voted for. The inspector hands the ballots, w anouier inspector, wno examines mem, numbers them cousecutively and strings them on a strong thread. When the num ber of ballots taken out and read equals the number who voted, If there are any more ballots in the box, they are to be immediate ly destroyed, If two or more ballots arc found folded together they are to be lnime-y diately destroyed. If any ballot contains more names for an olliee than are required for that office, it is fraudulent so far as that office is concerned. As soon as the count is cuiiipiiricu, uie ii'suu, wiiii miiiiuer oi voicn for each candidate is to be immediately and publicly declared. 11. The gate keepers are peace officers at the elections with power equal to consta bles. A candidate for office cannot bo a" gate keeper. But one voter is allowed with in the railing at a time, and must go out as soon as he has voted. The board may fix the time the voter may remain in the booth. It can't be less than one minute or more than five. There is a heavy penalty for in terfering with the gate keeper in discharge of his duty. 12.
