                                  ELECTIONS
                                  CHAPTER 9
                                   BALLOTS
    34-908.  EACH BALLOT TO CARRY OFFICIAL ELECTION STAMP ON OUTSIDE --
MARKING OF BALLOT BY VOTER. Every ballot used at any primary, general or
special election shall be stamped on the outside with the official election
stamp before it is given to the voter. At this time the election official
distributing the ballots shall give the voter instructions in regard to
folding the ballot after he has voted.
    The voter shall mark his ballot with a cross (X) or other mark sufficient
to show his intent in the place provided after the name of the candidate for
whom he intends to vote for each office.
    If a person votes by writing the name of a candidate on the ballot, such
act shall constitute a vote for the person's name who appears without the
necessity of placing a mark after the name written on the ballot, unless such
a mark is required by a vote tally system.
