In conformity with the laws of the Commonwealth in relation to elections, Village Hall had been fitted up as a polling place, a space railed off, and compartments provided for the use and convenience of the voters to examine and mark their ballots.

The presiding election officer publicly broke the seal on the package and delivered the ballots to the ballot clerks, who took their positions at the entrance to the polling place, and furnish- ed the ballots to the voters who presented themselves and were found to be qualified. The registrars of voters had provided duplicate lists of the qualified voters entitled to vote at this elec- tion, one copy of which was placed in the hands of the ballot clerks, at the entrance to the polling place, and the other copy was placed at the ballot box.
