Section 64
SEC. 64. Ballot boxes. — (a) There shall be in each polling place on the day of the voting two ballot boxes, one painted white and plainly marked "BOX FOR VALID BALLOTS" and a smaller one painted red plainly marked "BOX FOR SPOILED BALLOTS." The boxes of each kind shall be uniform throughout the Philippines and shall be solidly constructed, and shall be closed with three different locks in such a way that they can not be opened except by means of three distinct keys. Each of the keys shall, during the voting and counting of the votes, be in the hands of a different inspector. Immediately after the boxes are locked upon the completion of the counting, the six keys of the two boxes shall be placed in three separate envelopes, each one of which shall contain a key of the white box and another of the red box. Said envelopes shall be signed by all the members of the board of inspectors. The provincial commander or his authorized representative shall forthwith take delivery of said envelopes signing a receipt therefor; he shall keep one under his custody and deliver one to the provincial treasurer and the other to the provincial fiscal. Said officials shall keep the envelopes containing the keys intact during a period of three months. Upon the lapse of this period, if before said date the courts did not order otherwise, the provincial commander and the provincial fiscal shall deliver to the provincial treasurer the envelopes for the keys under their custody. (b) In case of the destruction or disappearance of the ballot boxes on the election day, the board of inspectors shall immediately report it and the municipal treasurer shall furnish other boxes or receptacles as equally adequate as possible.
