Section 17-8-34

Ballot to be folded after voting; name of voter to be called by inspector.

After preparing his ballot, the elector shall fold the same so as to conceal the face thereof and show the stub thereto attached with the name or the initial of the inspector and hand it to the receiving inspector. The inspector must receive the ballot folded and call the name of the elector audibly and distinctly, and the name of each elector whose ballot has been received must immediately be taken down by the clerks on separate lists, which shall be headed "names of voters" and called "poll lists," and the number of the order in which such elector votes must at the same time be entered by each clerk against his name, the first elector voting being numbered one, the second two and so on to the last elector voting.
