Section 132

SEC. 132. Casting of vote. — After his ballot is filled, the voter shall stamp his thumb-mark on the coupon and deliver the folded ballot to the inspector or poll clerk from whom he received it, and the latter, without seeing nor exposing its contents, in the presence and view of the voter, shall verify and remove its number, shall deposit the ballot in the box for valid ballots, and shall place the number in the box for spoiled ballots. The voter shall forthwith affix his signature and the imprint of the thumb of his right hand in the copy of the registry list of the inspector or poll clerk who gave him the ballot, in the column intended for that purpose, and the inspector or poll clerk shall in turn sign by the side of said thumb-mark. The voter shall then depart. At the time of casting a vote, any ballot whose detachable coupon has been removed not in the presence of the board and of the voter, or whose number does not coincide with the number of the ballot delivered to the voter, as entered in the registry list, shall be considered as spoiled.
