Sec. 9-262. Duties of election officials during voting hours. During the entire
period of an election, at least one of the election officials shall be stationed approximately
three to four feet from the voting tabulator to regulate the submission of the elector's
ballot. The election officials shall also, at such intervals as such officials deem proper
or necessary, examine the voting booth to ascertain whether it has been defaced or
damaged and to detect the wrongdoer and repair the damage. After the opening of the
polls, no election official shall allow any person other than the election officials to pass
within the area where the voting booths and voting tabulator are situated, except for the
purpose of voting or except as provided in this part. No election official shall remain
or permit any person to remain in any position or near any position that would permit
him to see or ascertain how an elector votes.
