§ 7-130. Ballots; examination by voters and instruction in use of

voting machines. One or more voting machines which shall contain the

ballot labels, showing the title of officers to be voted for, and which

shall so far as practicable contain the names of the candidates to be

voted for, shall be placed on public exhibition in some suitable place

by the board of elections, in charge of competent instructors, for at

least three days during the thirty days next preceding an election. No

voting machine which is to be assigned for use in an election shall be

used for such purpose after having been prepared and sealed for the

election. During such public exhibition, the counting mechanism of the

machine shall be concealed from view and the doors may be temporarily

opened only when authorized by the board or official having charge and

control of the election. Any voter shall be allowed to examine such

machine, and upon request shall be instructed in its use.
