In accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massa- chusetts governing elections, Village hall had been fitted up as a polling place, a space railed off and compartments provided for the convenience of voters in marking and examining their ballots, and each compartment was supplied with cards of instruction and other necessary facilities. Cards of instruc- tion and specimen ballots were also posted in different parts of the building outside of the rail. The Town Clerk deliv- ered to the Ballot Clerks one sealed package marked "1600 Official Ballots, March 2, 1903," and one package marked "400 ballots for School Committee only, March 2, 1903," and took their receipt therefor. The Ballot Clerks were pro-
IO
vided with duplicate sets of the lists of registered voters of the town, one for men voters and one for women voters, as prepared by the Registrars of Voters for use at this election. They were also supplied with the official ballots taken from the packages received from the Town Clerk, and stationed at the entrance to the polling place, with instructions to de- liver such ballots only to voters whose names were found and checked on the voting list. The ballot box used in elections was then opened in public meeting, examined by the Moder- ator and other election officers, and found to be empty. The register was then set at zero (0) and the box locked. At ten minutes past seven o'clock A. M. the polls were declared open for the reception of votes for town officers, and by vote of the meeting were kept open until fifty minutes after four o'clock in the afternoon, when, after due notice, they were declared closed. By the unanimous consent of the Moder- ator and Town Clerk, the ballot box was open at 11.10 o'clock A. M. : also several times during the day, for the purpose of removing the ballots to be counted. The ballot box was opened at the close of the polls, when the register stood 854. The box had failed to register 141 votes, so that the exact number of ballots deposited was nine hundred and ninety- five (995). The names checked on the voting list by the Ballot Clerks at the entrance to the polling place and by the checkers at the ballot box were counted up and compared, and found to agree, and the total number of names so checked was nine hundred and ninety-five (995), eleven (11) of which were women, which agreed with the total number registered by the ballot box. The Moderator, Town Clerk and Tellers then canvassed the votes given in, and the whole number was nine hundred and ninety-five (995), eleven (11) of which were women's votes, for School Committee only, which were sorted, counted, and declaration thereof made in open town meeting at twenty-five minutes past seven o'clock in the evening as follows :
