§ 1204Delivery of Ballots and Supplies to Judges of Election

The cards of instruction, return sheets, tally
papers, statements, oaths of election officers, affidavits,
voter's certificates, and other forms and supplies required for
use in each election district, and also the district register
of such district, and in districts in which ballots are used,
the official and specimen ballots prepared for use therein,
shall be packed by the county board of elections in separate
sealed packages for each election district, marked on the
outside so as to clearly designate the districts for which they
are intended, and, in the case of districts in which ballots
are used, the number of ballots of each kind enclosed. They
shall then be delivered by the county board, together with the
ballot box which shall bear the name and number of the election
district, to the judges of election in the several election
districts, not later than the day prior to the day of the
primary or election: Provided, however, That if, for any reason,
it is impossible to deliver such packages to the judge of
election in any district, such packages may be delivered to one
of the inspectors therein. The respective judges of election
or inspectors shall, on delivery to them of such packages,
return receipts therefor to the county board, which shall keep
a record of the time when and the manner in which the several
packages are delivered. The county board may, in its discretion,
require the respective judges of election to call at its office
to obtain the said packages.
