      Sec. 9-262. Duties of election officials during voting hours. During the entire period of an election, at least one of the election officials, to be designated from time to time by the moderator, shall be stationed beside the entrance to the voting machine booth to regulate the admission of electors thereto, and shall see that it is properly closed after an elector has entered it to vote. He shall also, at such intervals as he deems proper or necessary, examine the face of the machine to ascertain whether it has been defaced or damaged and to detect the wrongdoer and repair the damage. After the opening of the polls, no election official shall allow any person other than the election officials to pass within the railing to the part of the room where the machine is situated, except for the purpose of voting or except as provided in this part; and no such official shall permit more than one elector at a time to be in such part of the room. No election official shall remain or permit any person to remain in any position or near any position that would permit him to see or ascertain how an elector votes or how he has voted.
