(a) During the thirty days next preceding an election, the
county election board shall place on public exhibition, in such
public places, and at such times as it may deem most suitable
for the information and instruction of the voters, one or more
voting machines, containing the ballot labels, and showing the
offices and questions to be voted upon, the names and
arrangements of parties, and, so far as practicable, the names
and arrangements of the candidates to be voted for. Such machine
or machines shall be under the charge and care of a person
competent as custodian and instructor. No voting machine, which
is to be assigned for use in an election, shall be used for
such public exhibition and instruction, after having been
prepared and sealed for the election.
   (b) During such public exhibition and instruction, the
counting mechanism of the voting machine shall be concealed
from view, and the doors, or cover concealing the same, shall
be opened, if at all, only temporarily, and only upon written
authorization from the county election board.
   (c) Prior to any election, the county board may cause copies
of any diagram or diagrams, required to be furnished with voting
machines at polling places, to be made, either in full size or
in reduced size, and to be posted, published, advertised or
distributed among the electors in such manner as they may deem
desirable.
