SEC. 34. Proceedings of the committee shall be public. — All meetings of the citizens election committee shall be public. The committee shall have full authority to keep order within the voting center and its environs, to keep the access thereto open and unobstructed, and to enforce obedience to its lawful commands. If any person shall refuse to obey a lawful command of the committee, or shall conduct himself in a disorderly manner in its presence or within its hearing and thus interrupt or disturb its work or the proceedings in connection with the registration, the chairman shall order any peace officer to take such offending person into his custody until the adjournment of the meeting; but such order shall not be so executed as to prevent the person so taken into custody from registering as a voter. Such order shall be executed by any peace officer to whom it may be given, but if none shall be present, by any other person deputized thereto by the committee in writing.
