In municipalities using paper
ballots, the clerk shall cause to be printed and distributed to the election judges in
the respective precincts a sufficient number of ballots. The ballots shall be sent in
one or more sealed packages for each precinct with marks on the outside of each
clearly stating the precinct and polling place for which it is intended, together with
the number of ballots enclosed. Such packages shall be delivered to one of the
judges of election of such precinct between the close of business on the Friday
preceding election day or during any earlier day in which a judges' school of
instruction is held, and 8 p.m. on the Monday before election day. A receipt for the
ballots thus delivered shall be given by the election judge who receives them. The
receipt shall be filed with the clerk, who shall also keep a record of the time when
and the manner in which each of said packages was sent and delivered. The
election judge receiving such package shall produce the same, with the seal
unbroken, in the proper polling place at the opening of the polls on election day
and, in the presence of all election judges for the precinct, shall open the package.
