     204B.39 Substitute ballots. 

    If a sufficient number of official ballots are not 
 delivered or if the official ballots are stolen or destroyed and 
 a sufficient number of official ballots cannot be procured, the 
 official in charge of preparing the official ballots shall 
 prepare substitute ballots in the form prescribed by this 
 section.  The substitute ballots shall be prepared in the same 
 form as official ballots as far as practicable.  The word 
 "Substitute" shall be printed in brackets immediately above the 
 words "Official Ballot."  When the substitute ballots are 
 delivered to the municipal clerks or election judges they shall 
 be accompanied by an initialed affidavit of the officer 
 preparing them.  The affidavit shall state that the substitute 
 ballots have been prepared and furnished in the manner 
 prescribed by this section and shall state the reason why 
 sufficient official ballots were not ready for delivery.  The 
 election judges shall include this affidavit with the election 
 returns from that precinct.
