Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indiana Election Laws (Complete): Reprinted From Burns' Annotated Statutes of the State of Indiana, (Approved by the Supreme Court, ) by Exclusive Arrangement With the Bowen-Merrill Company, Law Book Publishers, Indianapolis Section 26. The amendment abolishes the square in front of the title of each party, and provides for a large square, at least one and one-half inches on each side, to be placed around the device or emblem of the party. Also that the names of candi dates shall be printed three-fourths of an inch apart and the squares in front of them shall be three-eighths of an inch on each side. Many votes were lost in the last election because voters stamped the emblem when desirous of voting a [straight ticket. Under this section, and Section 45, the emblem is made the place for stamping for a straight ticket. The next greatest source of confusion was the small size of the squares and the fact that they were placed too close together. It is believed that these amendments, together with those of Section 45, will do away with most of these difficulties. Section 29. The amendment doubles the time allowed the State Board of Election Commissioners for distributing ballots, and provides, in addition to supplies formerly furnished, that the Board shall send a package containing ballots and twelve stamps to each county, to be used in case the supply for any precinct should be lost or destroyed. The original act made no provision for a new supply of State ballots except at the Capital! Section 34. The amendment provides that the initials of the poll clerks shall be written on the upper right-hand corner, instead of the lower left-hand corner. The object is to prevent tearing off the emblem of a party as an evidence of the way a ballot is voted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
