In counties where paper ballots are used, each elector shall be given a ballot by the
inspector. Before delivering the ballot to the elector, one of the inspectors shall
write his or her initials or name on the stub attached to the ballot; then the elector
shall, without leaving the polling place, retire alone to a booth or compartment
provided, and place an "X" mark after the name of the candidate of his or her choice
for each office to be filled, and likewise mark an "X" after the answer he or she
desires in case of a constitutional amendment or other question submitted to a vote.
