are used in counting the ballots, the inspector must take the ballots, one by one, from the
box in which they have been deposited, at the same time reading aloud the names of the persons
voted for and the office for which such persons are voted for; the inspector must separately
keep a calculation of the number of votes each person receives and for what office he or she
receives them; if the elector has marked more names than there are persons to be elected to

law shall be construed so as to prevent any elector from...
