(a) No elector shall be allowed to enter the enclosed space
until he shall be found entitled to vote.
   (b) As soon as an elector has been admitted within the
enclosed space, the election officer having charge of the
ballots in districts in which ballots are used, shall detach a
ballot and give it to the elector, first folding it so that the
words and figures printed on the back shall be the only words
and figures visible, and no ballots shall be deposited in the
ballot box unless folded in the same manner. Not more than one
ballot shall be detached in any book of ballots at any one time.
Not more than one ballot shall be given to an elector, but if
an elector inadvertently spoils a ballot, he may obtain another
upon returning the spoiled one. The ballots thus returned shall
be immediately cancelled and at the close of the polls shall
be enclosed in an envelope, sealed and returned to the county
board. ((b) amended Nov. 27, 2019, P.L.673, No.94)

elector, after being found to be qualified and admitted within

booth as soon as it is vacant, and shall be permitted to vote.
   (d) Not more than twice as many electors waiting to vote
as there are voting compartments or voting machines in use in
the district shall be admitted within the enclosed space at any
one time.
