Text

When a ballot is ready for deposit in the ballot box, the member of the precinct election board in charge of the ballot box, without opening the ballot or permitting it to be opened or examined except to ascertain that the ballot is a single ballot, shall deposit the ballot in the ballot box. The voter may place the voter's voted ballot in the ballot box to insure the privacy of the voter's vote after showing the official stamp on the ballot to the member of the precinct election board in charge of the ballot box.
