Excerpt from Manual of Election Laws for the Use of Moderators, Wardens, Clerks, and Supervisors

The State ballot for the election to be held on November 6th, 1906, will contain the names of candidates for Representative in Congress, General Officers and for members of the General Assembly; also a proposition for the issue of bonds known as the "Metropolitan Park Loan."

The names of the candidates will be arranged upon the ballot in party columns, so that a voter desiring to vote a straight party ticket may do so by making a cross in the circle at the top of the column assigned to the party of his choice. A cross mark in such a circle is a vote not only for a Representative in Congress and for General Officers, but also for members of the General Assembly; therefore This Ballot Must Not Be Torn Apart, Nor Its Folds Separated In Any Manner Whatsoever.

The Entire Ballot must be returned to the State Returning Board, which, by the changes made in the laws at the January Session, 1905, is now required to count and declare the votes cast for members of the General Assembly; town councils, boards of aldermen, and the board of canvassers and registration in the city of Providence having been relieved of the duty of counting and declaring such votes.

When the votes have been counted in the town, ward or district meeting, the State ballots must be done up in the official wrapper furnished by the Secretary of State.

Election Officers Must See That Each Package Of Ballots Is Sealed Up, Addressed, And Endorsed According To Law.

Each package must be sealed up in accordance with sections 9 and 11, Chapter 829 (see pages 8 and 9).
