Section 17-8-24

Ballots to be bound together, etc.

All ballots for use in each precinct shall be fastened together in convenient numbers in books or blocks in such manner that each ballot may be detached and removed separately. Each ballot shall have attached to it a stub of sufficient size to enable one of the inspectors to write or stamp his name or initials thereon and so attached to the ballot that when the same is folded the stub can be detached therefrom without injury to the ballot or exposing the contents thereof.
