§ 13. Sample ballots. Mailed to voters. Printing of official ballot. In cities. At least twenty days before the August primary election or before the May presidential primary election each county clerk or registrar of voters in any city and county shall prepare separate sample ballots for each political party, and a separate sample nonpartisan ballot, placing thereon in each case in the order provided in subdivision 7 of section 12 of this act, and under the appropriate title of each office, the names of all candidates for whom nomination papers have been duly filed

with him, or have been certified to him by the secretary of state, to be voted for at the primary election in his county or city and county. Such sample ballots shall be printed on paper of a different texture from the paper to be used on the official ballot, and one sample ballot of the party to which the voter belongs as evidenced by his registration shall be mailed to each such voter entitled to vote at such August primary elec tion or May presidential primary election, as the case may be, not more than ten nor less than five days before the election. Not more than ten nor less than five days before the August primary election a nonpartisan sample ballot printed on paper of a different texture from the paper to be used on the official ballot shall be mailed to each registered qualified elector who is not registered as intending to affiliate with any of the parties participating in said primary election. Such clerk or registrar of voters shall forthwith submit the ticket of each political party to the chairman of the county committee of such party and shall mail a copy to each candidate for whom nomination papers have been filed with him or whose name has been certified to him by the secretary of state, to the post office address as given in such nomination paper or certification, and he shall post a copy of each sample ballot in a conspicuous place in his office. Before such primary election the county clerk or registrar of voters in any city and county shall cause the official ballot to be printed as provided by section 12 of this act, and distributed in the same manner and in the same quantities as provided in sections 1198, 1199 and 1201 of the Political Code for the distribution of ballots for elections; provided, that the number of party ballots to be furnished to any precinct shall be computed from the number of voters registered in such precinct as intending to affiliate with such party, and the number of nonpartisan ballots to be furnished to any precinct shall be computed from the number of voters registered in such precinct without statement of intention to affiliate with any of the parties participating in the primary election. In the case of primary elections for the nomination of candidates for city offices it shall be the duty of the city clerk, secretary of the legislative body of such city or municipality, or such other officer charged by law with the duty of preparing and distributing the official ballots used at elections in such city or municipality, to prepare and mail the sample ballot and to prepare and distribute the official primary election ballots, and so far as applicable and not otherwise provided herein the provisions of this act shall apply to the nomination of all candidates for city offices.

§ 14. Polls open 6 A. M. to 7 P. M. The polls must be open at 6 o'clock of the morning of the day of primary election and must be kept open until 7 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, when the polls shall be closed; provided, however, that if at the hour of closing there are any voters in the polling place, or in line at the door, who are qualified to vote and have not been able to do so since appearing, the polls shall be kept open a sufficient time to enable them to vote. But no one who shall arrive at the polling place after 7 o'clock in the afternoon shall be entitled to vote, although the polls may be open when he arrives. No adjournment or intermission shall be taken except as provided in the case of general elections.

§ 15. Election officers. The officers for primary elections shall be the same, and shall be appointed in the same manner, as provided by law

for general elections, and such officers shall receive the same compensation for their services at primary elections as provided by law for general elections.

It shall be the duty of the proper officers to furnish the original affidavits of registration and indexes for use at primary elections, which shall show the names of all voters entitled to vote at such primary elections, and shall be numbered, for purposes of the primary election, in like manner as provided in section 1113 of the Political Code. And all the provisions of section 1096 of the Political Code, as far as they are consistent with the provisions of this act, are hereby made applicable to primary elections within the meaning of this act.

§ 16. Challenge of voter. Any elector offering to vote at a primary election may be challenged by any elector of the city, city and county or county, upon either or all of the grounds specified in section 1230 of the Political Code, but his right to vote the primary election ticket of the political party designated in his affidavit of registration, as provided in section 1096 of the Political Code, or his right to vote the nonpartisan primary ticket providing no such party is so designated, shall not be challenged on any ground or subjected to any tests other than those provided by the constitution and section 1230 of the Political Code of this state.

§ 17. Qualified electors may vote. Any elector qualified to take part in any primary election, who has, at least thirty days before the day of such primary election, qualified by registration, as provided by section 1096 of the Political Code, shall be entitled to vote at such primary election, such right to vote being subject to challenge only as herein before provided; and shall, on writing his name or having it written for him on the roster, as provided by law for general elections in this state, receive the official primary election ballot of the political party desig nated in his affidavit of registration; (or the nonpartisan ballot, providing no such party was so designated), and no other; provided, however, that no one shall be entitled to vote at any primary election who has not been a resident of the state one year, and of the county ninety days, preceding the day upon which such primary election is held. He shall be instructed by a member of the board as to the proper method of marking and folding his ballot, and he shall then retire to an unoccupied booth and without undue delay stamp the same with the rubber stamp there found. If he shall spoil or deface the ballot he shall at once return the same to the ballot clerk and receive another.

§ 18. Designating choice. The voter shall designate his choice on the ballot by stamping a cross (X) in the small square opposite the name of each candidate for whom he wishes to vote. If he shall stamp more names than there are candidates to be nominated for any office, or if for any reason it be impossible to determine his choice for any office, his ballot shall not be counted for such office, but the rest of his ballot, if properly stamped, shall be counted. No ballot shall be rejected for any technical error which does not render it impossible to determine the voter's choice, nor even though such ballot be somewhat soiled or defaced.

§ 19. Folding ballot. When a voter has stamped his ballot he shall fold it so that its face shall be concealed and only the printed desig
