(a) During the
thirty days next preceding an election at which any electronic
voting system is to be used, the county board of elections shall
place on public exhibition, in such public places and in such
quantity and at such times as it shall deem most suitable for
the instruction and information of the voters of the county,

those components of the electronic voting system which are used
by the voter, containing a sample ballot designed for
instructional use. Such components shall be under the charge
and care of a person competent as custodian and instructor. No
voting system component which is 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) At the polling place on the day of the election, each
voter who desires shall be instructed, by means of appropriate
diagrams and a model, in the operation of the voting device
before he enters the voting booth. If any voter shall ask for
further instructions concerning the manner of voting after
entering the voting booth, any election officer may give him
audible instructions without entering such booth, but no such
election officer shall when giving such instructions in any
manner request, suggest or seek to persuade or induce any such
voter to vote any particular ticket or for any particular
candidate or other person or for or against any particular
question.
