Charter and Revised Ordinances of Lake City Florida (1912) Gillen & Hodges
86
Charter oj the City of Lake City
for any reason it is impossible to determine the
elector’s choice for any office to be filled, his ballot 86/257
shall not be counted for such office, but this shall
not vitiate the ballot, so far as properly marked,
and nothing herein shall be construed to prevent
any elector from voting for any qualified person
other than those whose names are printed on the
ballot.

Sec. 32. Any person who willfully or knowing­
ly refuses or fails to perform the duties herein
described shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and,
upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not less
than one hundred nor more than five hundred
dollars.

Sec. 33. When any person shall have voted,
his name shall be checked on the margin of the
page opposite thereto upon the registration book
by one of the inspectors, and the clerk of the elec­
tion shall keep a poll list, which shall contain
one column headed “Names of Voters,” and the
name of each elector voting shall be entered by
the clerk in such columns as he votes. And the
inspectors of election shall have the authority and
power to prevent all repeating, and to prevent
any person from voting a second time at the same
election, when they have good reason to believe
such person has already voted. They shall have
full power to refuse to allow any person to vote
who is not a qualified elector, or who has become
disqualified. They may also prevent any elector
from consuming more time than five minutes in vot­
ing. But no inspector shall examine, read or handle
the ballot being voted or about to be voted by any
elector, or interfere in any way with the voting of
any elector otherwise than as herein provided.
