§ 4-128. Supplies; furnished by board of elections or city, town or
village clerk. 1. The board of elections of each county shall provide
the requisite number of official and facsimile ballots, two cards of
instruction to voters in the form prescribed by the state board of
elections, at least one copy of the instruction booklet for inspectors,
a sufficient number of maps, street finders or other descriptions of all
of the polling places and election districts within the political
subdivision in which the polling place is located to enable the election
inspectors and poll clerks to determine the correct election district
and polling place for each street address within the political
subdivision in which the polling place is located, distance markers,
tally sheets and return blanks, pens, pencils, or other appropriate
marking devices, envelopes for the ballots of voters whose registration
poll records are not in the ledger or whose names are not in the
computer generated registration list, envelopes for returns,
identification buttons, badges or emblems for the inspectors and clerks
in the form prescribed by the state board of elections and such other
articles of stationery as may be necessary for the proper conduct of
elections, except that when a town, city or village holds an election
not conducted by the board of elections, the clerk of such town, city or
village, shall provide such official and facsimile ballots and the
necessary blanks, supplies and stationery for such election.

2. If the official ballots required to be furnished by any board or
officer shall not be delivered to such board or officer at the time
required, or if after delivery shall be lost, destroyed or stolen, such
board or officer shall cause other ballots to be prepared as nearly in
the form of the official ballots as practicable, and delivered to the
inspectors of election. Such ballots shall be known as unofficial
ballots. Sample ballots of each kind shall be printed on paper of a
different color from any of the official ballots and without numbers on
the stubs, but in all other respects precisely similar to the official
ballots.
