      Sec. 9-293. Method of balloting. The moderator shall place the boxes before the box-tenders, in a location conveniently accessible to the electors, and publicly call upon the electors to bring in their ballots for such officers as are to be voted for. The electors shall, under the direction of the moderators in their respective towns or voting districts, lay the ballots, folded as provided in section 9-275, one at a time, on the lid of the ballot box. The box-tender shall tear or remove the stub from such ballot, shall deposit the ballot in the box marked "ballots", without opening the same or exposing to view any part of its face, and shall deposit the stub in the box marked "stubs".
