There is noticeable in these years a gradual increase in the amount of legislation concerning the nominating machinery prescribing the days and hours for holding elections of delegates, the size of the polling-place, the nature of the ballotbox, the poll-list, who might participate in the choice of delegates, how the returns were to be made, and so on.
Ballots are of different colors; those of one color signifying an affirmative vote, or yes; those of another color a negative vote, or no. From this has come the application of the word ballot to the written or printed ticket now used in voting. If no objection is made to an elector's voting, the ballot is put into the box, and the clerks enter his name on the poll-list.
Elections are conducted by persons designated by law, or chosen by the electors of the town for that purpose. It is their duty to preserve order, and to see that the business is properly done. They are usually called judges of elections, or inspectors of elections. Each clerk keeps a list of the names of the persons voting, which is called a poll-list.
