(a) The county election board shall deliver the proper
voting machine or voting machines, properly furnished with
ballot labels, to the polling places of the respective election
districts, at least one hour before the time set for opening
the polls at each election, and shall cause each machine to be
set up in the proper manner for use in voting. Each machine
shall then remain sealed until the examination immediately
preceding the opening of the polls prescribed by this act.
   (b) The county election board shall provide ample protection
against molestation of and injury to the voting machine, and,
for that purpose, shall and may call upon any police or elected
peace officer of this Commonwealth to furnish such assistance
as may be necessary, and it shall be the duty of police and
elected peace officers to furnish such assistance when so
requested by the county election board.
   (c) The county election board shall furnish, at the expense
of the county, and deliver with each voting machine:
   1. A lantern, or a proper substitute for one, which shall
give sufficient light to enable voters, while in the voting
machine booth, to read the ballot labels, and suitable for the
use of election officers in examining the counters. The lantern,
or proper substitute therefor, shall be prepared and in good
order for use before the opening of the polls.
   2. Two diagrams or sample ballots, of suitable size,
representing such part of the face of such voting machine as
will be in use in the election, and accompanied by directions
for voting on the machine. Such diagrams shall be posted
prominently outside the enclosed space within the polling place.
   3. A mechanically operated model of a portion of the face
of a voting machine, for the instruction of electors. Such model
shall be placed in the polling place and at or outside of the
guard-rail or barrier.
   4. A seal, for sealing the machine after the polls are
closed; an envelope for the return of the keys, if the
construction of the voting machine shall permit their separate
return; and such other election materials and supplies as may
be necessary, or as may be required by law.
